In your role as a business owner or employee and as a private consumer, you are an active participant in the economy. Your consumption and saving decisions have an impact on the economy. Keeping in mind the lessons you learned in the last two chapters about AD/AS modeling please respond to the following scenario:

Assume you are a member of the Federal Reserve Board. Over the last six months you have seen the U.S. unemployment rate drop from 5.4% to 3.8%. What would this drop indicate to you and what would be your biggest economic concern be? In your next Federal Reserve meeting, what action would you recommend be taken to mitigate or alleviate the concern you identified?

Please give the excel formulas and steps details

1.The Round-trip-time between the college and home for a student is normally distributed with a mean of 47 min and a standard deviation of 4.6 min. To one-decimal place, what Round-trip-time would be considered the 70th percentile? Make sure to include units.

2.A recent study showed that the average amount of time spent doing part time job by students at a college is 29 hours per week with a standard deviation of 3.8 hours. If 64 students were selected at random, what is the probability that their average weekly working hours will be less than 20 hours?Round answer to two decimals, if necessary.Express answer in percent. Don't forget to put % sign with you answer.

Question 1 Suppose a forex trader makes the following statement, “liquid currencies would be more volatile than the illiquid ones.” Explain why would you agree or disagree with the trader’s statement.

Question 2 A forex trader has $1,000,000 (or its Swiss franc equivalent) to use in a forex speculation. The spot exchange rate is USD1.0524/CHF and the relevant 3-month interest rates (un-annualized) in the US and Switzerland are 3.8% and 5.3%, respectively. Suppose the trader can make a precise forecast and the future spot rate in 90 days will be USD1.0627/CHF, explain how the trader can perform arbitrage. How much arbitrage profit can the trader obtain? Explain your working

You are constructing a portfolio of two assets, Asset A and Asset B. The expected returns of the assets are 11 percent and 14 percent. The standard deviations of the assets are 35 percent and 43 percent. The correlation between the two assets is .53 and the risk-free rate is 3.8 percent. What is the optimal Sharpe ratio in a portfolio of the two assets? What is the smallest expected loss for this portfolio over the coming year with a probability of 1 percent? ( do not round intermediate calculations. (Round Sharpes ratio answer to 4 decimal places and the s-score value to 3 decimal places when calculating answer. Enter your smallest expected loss as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places).
