|
a measure of the amount of time it takes from you receive money until it is spent. |
|
|
a measure of how easy it is to turn an asset into cash without losing value. |
|
|
a measure of interest rates. |
|
|
a measure of how much wealth someone has. |
Question 4 (1 point)
The Federal Reserve announces that it wants to increase interest rates at a faster pace than it said previously. In this case, people want to:
Question 4 options:
|
hold more bonds now to profit from the higher rates. |
|
|
hold less bonds, because a higher future rate than previously announced means that bond prices in the future will fall more than you thought previously, so the expected return to holding bonds falls. |
|
|
hold more bonds and less stocks, because it will be more expensive for companies to borrow at higher rates. |
Question 5 (1 point)
New data come in showing an increase in the inflation rate. You worry that inflation over the next year will be much higher than you thought previously.
Question 5 options:
|
You are now less likely to buy bonds, since higher expected inflation means that the expected real return from holding bonds is lower. This means that the bond demand curve will shift left. |
|
|
You are now more likely to buy bonds, because the increase in inflation won't happen until next year, so the bond demand curve will shift right. |
|
|
Your bond demand will not be affected, since nominal interest rates will not be affected. |
|
Question 6 (1 point)

Question 6 options:
|
Expected future inflation increases. |
|
|

|
|
House values are expected to fall. |
|
|
Fees on stock trading are reduced. |

|
|
Bond prices went down, so the public wanted to buy more bonds. |

Veronica Mars, a recent graduate of Bell’s accounting program, evaluated the operating performance of Dunn Company’s six divisions. Veronica made the following presentation to Dunn’s board of directors and suggested the Percy Division be eliminated. “If the Percy Division is eliminated,” she said, “our total profits would increase by $26,500.”
| The Other Five Divisions |
Percy Division |
Total | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sales | $1,663,000 | $100,000 | $1,763,000 | |||||
| Cost of goods sold | 978,100 | 76,800 | 1,054,900 | |||||
| Gross profit | 684,900 | 23,200 | 708,100 | |||||
| Operating expenses | 529,000 | 49,700 | 578,700 | |||||
| Net income | $155,900 | $ (26,500 | ) | $129,400 |
In the Percy Division, cost of goods sold is $60,500 variable and
$16,300 fixed, and operating expenses are $29,100 variable and
$20,600 fixed. None of the Percy Division’s fixed costs will be
eliminated if the division is discontinued.
Is Veronica right about eliminating the Percy Division? Prepare a
schedule to support your answer. (Enter negative
amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45
or parentheses e.g. (45).)

}
(20 points) Write the code for the deleteAll (int key) member function. It takes a key value and deletes all of the data in the list with that value. Make sure to preserve the integrity of the list. If no member with that value is in the list, this function should do nothing.
