Assume that the nominal interest rate is 8% in 2020, with inflation at 3%. a. According to the Fisher effect, what will happen to the nominal interest rate if inflation goes to 8%? b. If someone borrowed $1 million in 2020 at 8% (promising to pay $1,080,000 in one year) and paid back the loan one year later when inflation had unexpectedly gone to 8%, what would be the real interest rate on this loan?
Inflation in the Philippines this year has surged to 4.9% in 2022, exceeding the inflationtarget band set by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. In response, the BSP might raise theirkey real interest rate soon, which will in turn affect loaning and lending rates in thecountry. In response to these conditions, firms and investors are growing anxious and assuch, are planning on pulling back on their investments. Given all the information above, illustrate and explain the effects of the decrease ininvestment on the economy. Make sure to cover the following: shifts (if any) in theaggregate expenditure curve, the change in equilibrium output (i.e. identify and comparethe old and new level of equilibrium output in the graph, and the multiplier effect.
Which of the following statement is false? A. Consumption smoothing occurs when people borrow and save to smooth consumption over their lifetime. B. When making decisions about savings and borrowing, households and firms care more about the nominal interest rate than the real interest rate. C. Fisher equation describes the relationship between nominal and real interest rates under the effect of inflation. D. Movement along the demand curve for loanable funds is caused by a change in the interest rate.
Suppose that the investment function is I = 3,500 − 100r, where r is the real interest rate (in percent). If the nominal interest rate is 12 percent and the inflation rate is 4 percent, then total investment will be:
In early 2017, policymakers at the Federal Reserve forecast that real GDP during 2017 would increase faster than potential GDP and that the inflation rate for the year would be about 1.9 percent. Source: Federal Open Market Committee, "Advance Release of Table 1 of the Summary of Economic Projections to be Released with the FOMC Minutes," March15, 2017. Fill in the missing values in the table with estimates that are consistent with these forecasts. Assume that the growth rate for real GDP between 2016 and 2017 is 0.32 percentage points higher than the percentage change in potential output between those years (rounded to two decimal places). 2016 2017 Real GDP $16.7 trillion $nothing trillion Potential GDP $16.9 trillion $17.1 trillion GDP Deflator 111.5 nothing (Enter your responses rounded to one decimal place.)
Which of the following are likely consequences of rising inflation? Check all that apply. Savers wanting to save less and borrowers wanting to borrow more Savers wanting to save more and borrowers wanting to borrow less A misallocation of resources A distorted price-signaling mechanism Suppose the real interest rate (IR) is 3.5% and the inflation rate is 3.5%, and then the nominal or market interest rate is_______ . Crystal considers investing in the green energy industry and compares the following two options: 1. One-year bonds issued by Air Wizard, a producer of wind turbines based in the United States, that pay a nominal interest rate of 7% 2. One-year bonds issued by Sun Waters, a producer of solar water heaters based in Australia, that pay a nominal interest rate of 9.8% A thorough study has shown that the economic situation and prospects in the United States and Australia are very similar. Nevertheless, Crystal decides to…
According to the Fischer equation, if the nominal interest rate is 8% and inflation is running at 4% then the real interest rate is? 12% 8% 4% 2%
After staying virtually flat for about a year and a half, the average lending rate of banks has started to show signs of decline in April after the Bank of Ghana reduced the monetary policy rate the month before. The Summary of Economic and Financial Data (May 2020) published by the Bank of Ghana has shown that average lending rate has finally moved out of its comfort zone to a step downward. Prior to recording 22.38 percent in April, the average lending rate has since the past 17 months (December 2018) not come below 23%.How would banks benefit when interest rates decrease?
Assume the expected after-tax real interest rate is 1% and that the nominal interest rate is 4% .Suppose that the actual inflation rate turns out to be 4% as well. What is the realized after -tax real interest.?
Suppose you purchase a $1,500 TIPS on January 1, 2020. The bond carries a fixed coupon rate of 5.5 percent. Over the first two years, semiannual inflation is 1.5 percent, 1.5 percent, 4 percent, and 3 percent, respectively. What is the principal at the end of month 6?
Assume you put money into an asset that pays you 7 percent interest and inflation is 5 percent. Which statement is correct? This means the nominal rate of interest is 7 percent and the real rate is 5 percent. This means the real rate of interest is 2 percent. The textbook states that all interest rates would be assumed to be the real rate; thus, the nominal rate is 12 percent. This means the nominal rate of interest is 35 percent. If the rate of inflation falls, your real rate of interest from this asset would also fall.
Consider the market for loanable funds. Suppose the demand for loans is given be i=9-Q+π, and the supply of loans is given by i=Q/2+π, where π represents inflation. In the case of π=3, what is the real interest "r" rate given the equilibrium values found in the last question? r=0 r=3 r=6 r=-3
