Answer:

The correct answer are option D for both questions.

Explanation:

Recessions is characterized with decrease in consumer and investment spending. During recessions there is a decline in inflation rate and the unemployment rate increases.

While during expansion, there is a boost in economy. So, with increase in investment and production, the unemployment rate falls. There is a rise in inflation rate as well.

Though even in the stages of recovery, the unemployment rate continues to increase because some firms are pessimistic and are operating below their capacity. Also, the rate of growth of labor force is higher than rate of employment growth, which leads to increase in unemployment.

Answer:

Answer to part 1: D

Answer to part 2: D

Explanation:

Part 1:

Inflation rate is the rate at which prices rise over time resulting in reduced purchasing power, that is loss of purchasing value per dollar spent. Unemployment rate is the percentage of unemployed workers in the total labour force of a given country. Business cycle expansion part of the cycle when the economy is growing whereas a recession is the part of the cycle  when  the economy is performing below its productive capacity. The inflation rate has an inverse relationship with the unemployment rate. Therefore, when inflation decreases, the unemployment rate increases and when inflation increases, the unemployment rate decreases. Given these principles and definition, unemployment would decrease during economic expansions and increase during recessions whereas inflation would increase during economic expansions and decrease during recessions. With this in mind, the correct answer to the first question is choice D

Part 2:

The period immediately following a recession is defined as economic recovery. it is also considered to be the first stage of economic expansion. During recovery, the productive capacity of the economy is just beginning  to pick up and there is uncertainty regarding the sustainability of continued economic growth at that point in time. During this phase, national income may grow at a steady rate or experience some varied growth rates leading to some uncertainty at the firm level. Therefore, firms may be hesitant to take on new projects and employment opportunities may not be as many as the number of workers willing and available to work. Owing to this, some firms may be cautiously working below their full capacity. Choice D encompasses these two points.

Warson Motors wants to raise $2 million by selling 20-year coupon bonds at par. Comparable bonds in the market have a coupon rat
Kitty [74]

Answer:

He should set coupon rate of 1.98%

Explanation:

Given Data:

Face Value of Bonds = $2,000,000

Coupon rate = 6.3 percent

Issue Value of Bonds = 6.5% * Face Value of Bonds

                                    = 6.5% * $2,000,000

                                    = 0.065 * $2,000,000

                                     = $130,000

Given Annual YTM = 6.30%  

Therefore,

Semiannual YTM = 3.15%

Time to Maturity = 20 years

Semiannual Period = 40

Let Semiannual Coupon be $C

$130,000 = $C * PVIFA(3.15%, 40) + $2,000,000

$130,000 = $C * (1 - (1/1.0315)^40) / 0.0315 + $2,000,000 / 1.0315^40

$130,000= $C * 22.56 + $578,443.2

$448,443.2 = $C * 22.56

$C = $19877.80

Semiannual Coupon = $19877.80

Semiannual Coupon Rate = Semiannual Coupon / Face Value of Bonds

Semiannual Coupon Rate = $19877.80 / $2,000,000

Semiannual Coupon Rate = 0.0099 or 0.99%

Annual Coupon Rate = 2 * Semiannual Coupon Rate

Annual Coupon Rate = 2 * 0.99%%

Annual Coupon Rate = 1.98%

raketka [301]

Here is the correct question.

A cylindrical part of diameter d is loaded by an axial force p. this causes a stress of P/A, where A= πd²/4. if the load is known with an uncertainty of ±10 percent, the diameter is known within ±5 percent (tolerances), and the stress that causes failure (strength) is known within ±15 percent, determine the minimum design factor that will guarantee that the part will not fail.

Answer:

the minimum design factor that will guarantee that the part will not fail. = 1.434

Explanation:

Looking at the uncertainty; loss of strength must be raised to \dfrac{1}{0.85} due to the stress that causes the failure (strength)  is known within ±15% uncertainty.

Looking at the uncertainty; the maximum allowable load  must be reduced to \dfrac{1}{1.1} because the load is known with an uncertainty of ±10.

Looking at the uncertainty; the diameter must be raised to \dfrac{1}{0.95}  because the diameter is known within an uncertainty of ±5.

The decrease in the maximum allowable stress can be estimated as:

\sigma' = \dfrac{P'}{A'}

where,

\sigma = stress

P = load

A = cross-sectional area of the cylinder

∴

\sigma' = \dfrac{P'}{\dfrac{\pi}{4}(d')^2}

replacing P' with \dfrac{1}{1.1}P   and d' with \dfrac{1}{0.95}d, we have:

\sigma' = \dfrac{(\dfrac{1}{1.1})\times p }{\dfrac{\pi}{4}(\dfrac{1}{0.95 } d)^2 }

\sigma' =\dfrac{P}{\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2} (\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{1.1} }{(\dfrac{1}{0.95})^2 }) }

\sigma' =\sigma \times (\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{1.1} }{(\dfrac{1}{0.95})^2 }) }

\sigma' =\sigma \times 0.82045

\dfrac{\sigma' }{\sigma } =0.82045

Thus, the uncertainty in diameter and the load of the allowable stress needs to decrease to 0.82045

Now, the minimum design factor that will ascertain that the part will not fail can be computed as:

n_d = \dfrac{loss  \ of  \ function \  parameter }{maximum \  allowable \ parameter}

where;

the design factor = n_d

n_d =\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{0.85} }{0.82045}

the design factor  n_d = 1.434.

Thus,  the minimum design factor that will guarantee that the part will not fail. = 1.434
