In 2018, the nominal interest rate on bonds was 5 percent a year and the real interest rate was 2 percent a year. Investment was 2.7$ trillion and the government budget deficit was 0.5$ trillion. By 2020, the real interest rate had increased to 5 percent a year, but the nominal interest rate increased to 4 percent a year. Investment has crashed to 1.8$ trillion and the government budget deficit had climbed to 3.8$ trillion. Assume that the private demand for and private supply of loanable funds did not change between 2018 & 2020. What was the inflation rate in 2018 and 2020? What happened to the price of bond between 2018 and 2020? Did the change in the government budget deficit crowed out some investment? What happened to the demand for loanable funds between 2005 and 2009? How do you know? What happened to the quantity of saving and investment?
First National Bank is doing some scenario analysis. It believes that its source of funds (the Federal Reserve) will soon increase the cost of loans. In fact, the cost of making loans is expected to change from the current 2 percent interest to either 3 percent or 4 percent interest in the next year. There will be no change in its $2,000,000 income at the 2 percent interest level, but net income will fall to $1,000,000 if interest rates increase to 3 percent and decrease to $100,000 if the interest rates increase to 4 percent . Finally, National predicts a 10 percent probability of a decrease to 2 percent interest rate, a 50 percent probability of a 3 percent interest rate, and a 40 percent probability of an increase to 4 percent interest rate.
A financial manager is considering two possible sources of funds necessary to finance a $10,000,000 investment that will yield $1,500,000 before interest and taxes. Alternative one is a short-term commercial bank loan with an interest rate of 8 percent for one year. The alternative is a five-year term loan with an interest rate of 10 percent. The firm's income tax rate is 30 percent. The financial manager expects short-term rates to rise to 11 percent in the second year. At that time long-term rates will have risen to 12%. What will be the firm's projected earnings under each alternative in the second year?
