Short-term interest rates are more volatile than long-term rates. Despite this, the rates of return of long-term bonds are more

volatile than returns on short-term securities. How can these two empirical observations be reconciled?

Answer:

Short term interest rates are more volatile (or change more often) because the FED uses them to control inflation and the money supply. Generally, when the FED engages in either expansionary or contractionary monetary policies, they will use short term interest rates. Even if they change more often, their nominal rates are generally very low, and a small change does the job. So they change more often, but in a very small proportion.

On the other hand, long term securities yield much more volatile returns because they last much longer and any small change in interests rates will result in a larger proportional change of returns in the long run. The longer the bonds, the larger the effect of any change in the market rates.

Which of these statements about the production order quantity model is FALSE? The production order quantity model is appropriate
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Question is written again to add options:

A. The production order quantity model is appropriate when the assumptions of the basic EOQ model are met, except that receipt is noninstantaneous.

B.  Average inventory is more than one-half of the production order quantity.

C. Because receipt is noninstantaneous, some units are used immediately and not stored in inventory.

D. All else equal, the smaller the ratio of demand rate to production rate, the smaller is the production order quantity.

E. None of these is false.

The correct answer is option B "Average inventory is more than one-half of the production order quantity."

Explanation:

With an inventory, it is possible to separate parts of the production process , to separate assets from goods are yet to be produced or are already produced that could serve as a source of income for a company.

An average inventory is less than one-half of the production order quantity.

The production order quantity model doesn't make it possible for the ordered quantity to be received at one time.

The production order quantity model helps a company on how to manage inventory holding costs and the average fixed ordering cost, thereby making it possible for a company to check and minimize its inventory cost and to have a guide on what quantity to produce at every point in time.

What allows consumers to receive goods and services in a non-price rationing system?
Tatiana [17]
Non-price rationing system is commonly done by queuing (to resolve rationing problems brought by price ceilings) and by coupons (to restore buyer equilibrium). Favored customers who received special treatment from dealers when there is an excess demand, which means: owners giving goods and services to their friends, is another non-price rationing mechanism. I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The answer is 14%

Explanation:

Formula for Future value (FV)                    FV = PV (1+ni)

Whereas FV= Future value, PV = present value, n= number of years, i= TVOM in percentage

Rearranging the formula for i

     i =        (FV/PV)-1

So, i =       (5,700/5,000)-1

      i =      1.14-1

      i =      0.14

      i =       14%

(0.14x100=14%)
