Which of the following statements correctly describe how the present value of a future expected cash flow may vary with different factors?
Group of answer choices
A. More than one of the other options are correct.
B. As the expected loss of purchasing power due to inflation increases, then, holding all else constant, the present value of a future expected cash flow will decrease.
C. As the period of time we have to wait until we receive a future expected cash flow decreases, then, holding all else constant, the present value of the cash flow will decrease.
D. As the risk associated with a future expected cash flow increases, then, holding all else constant, the present value of the cash flow will increase.
If the yield curve is downward sloping, what would the expectations theory suggest about expected future short-term interest rates?
Which of the following statements is CORRECT about the yield curve?
A) The yield curve shows the behaviour of interest rate forecasts. B) When short-term rates are lower than long-term rates, there is a downward-sloping yield curve. C) A downward-sloping yield curve shows that investors demand an additional risk premium for lending money over the long term. D) A downward-sloping yield curve indicates that the market expects a future rise in interest rates.
