A 30-year maturity bond has a 6.7% coupon rate, paid annually. It sells today for $881.17. A 20-year maturity bond has a 6.2% coupon rate, also paid annually. It sells today for $893.1. A bond market analyst forecasts that in five years, 25-year maturity bonds will sell at yields to maturity of 7.7% and 15-year maturity bonds will sell at yields of 7.2%. Because the yield curve is upward sloping, the analyst believes that coupons will be invested in short-term securities at a rate of 7.2%.a. Calculate the annual return for the 20-year maturity bond over the next five years. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)Expected rate of return %b. What is the expected return of the 10-year bond. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)Expected rate of return

A) plot the m1 and m2 money stock in the us from 1990-2015. (hint: you may use the data tools provided by fred.) (b) plot the nominal interest rate from 1960 to 2014. (hint: you can either use the daily interest rates for selected u.s. treasury, private money market and capital market instruments from or the effective federal funds rate fromfred.) (c) the consumer price index (cpi) is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services. intuitively, the cpi represents the cost of living or the average price level. plot the cpi from 1960 to 2013.(d) the inflation rate is the yearly percentage change in the average price level. in practice, we usually use the percentage change in the cpi to compute the inflation rate. plot the inflation rate from 1960 to 2013.(e) explain the difference between the ex-ante and ex-post real interest rate. use the fisher equation to compute the ex-post real interest rate. plot the nominal interest rate and the ex-post real interest rate from 1960 to 2013 in the same graph.

Refer to the payoff matrix. suppose that speedy bike and power bike are the only two bicycle manufacturing firms serving the market. both can choose large or small advertising budgets. is there a nash equilibrium solution to this game?

The third program provides families with $50 in food stamps each week, redeemable for both perishable and nonperishable food. the fourth policy instead provides a family with a box of nonperishable foods each week, worth $50. use two graphs to illustrate that a family may be indifferent between the two programs, but will never prefer the $50 box of nonperishable foods over the $50 in food stamps. state your answer and use a consumer choice model for perishable food and nonperishable food to graphically justify your choice.
