2. Many workers hold large amounts of stock issued by the firms at which they work. Why do you suppose companies encourage this behavior? Why might a person not want to hold stock in the company where he works?
3. Economists in Funlandia, a closed economy, have collected the following information about the economy for a particular year: Y = 10,000; C = 6,000; T = 1,500; G = 1,700. The economists also estimate that the investment function is: I =3,300 –100r where r is the country’s real interest rate, expressed as a percentage. Calculate private saving, public saving,…
Suppose that the yield curve shows that the one-year bond yield is 3 percent, the two-year yield is 4 percent, and the three-year yield is 5 percent. Assume that the risk premium on the one-year bond is zero, the risk premium on the two-year bond is 1 percent, and the risk premium on the three-year bond is 2 percent. What are the expected one-year interest rates next year and the following year?

- Assume that your rich aunt has given you $25,000 in a gift. You have come up with three ways to spend (or invest) the capital. First, you want (but do not need) a new car to make your home and social life brighter. Second, you can invest the money in the common stock of a high-tech company. Price is expected to grow by 20 percent a year, but this option is very risky. Third, you can put the money into a three-year deposit certificate with a local bank and receive 6 percent annually. The third alternative carries little risk. a. If you plan to buy the new vehicle, what is the cost of that option for the opportunity? Explain what you think in your own words.b.

The supply in (billions of £)as a function of the price of the bond is S = 2P + 400. b) Suppose that the yield to maturity of the bond is i = 0.05. What is the quantity demanded/supplied at this interest rate? What happens to the demand/supply of the bond as the interest rate increases? Explain why. c) What is the equilibrium interest rate? d) Suppose that the bond trades at premium. Is there excess demand or supply? Explain. e) There is a business cycle contraction, so both supply and demand shifts. After the shift, the new demand curve is given by: D = 4000 + X − 2P , whereas the new supply curve is S = 2P + 200. For which values of X will the interest increase/decrease? Which values of X are in line with empirical data? Please show all the steps and equations used to get to the answers.arrow_forward
