Crystal considers investing in the green energy industry and compares the following two options:
1.
One-year bonds issued by Air Wizard, a producer of wind turbines based in the United States, that pay a nominal interest rate of 7%
2.
One-year bonds issued by Sun Waters, a producer of solar water heaters based in Australia, that pay a nominal interest rate of 9.8%
A thorough study has shown that the economic situation and prospects in the United States and Australia are very similar. Nevertheless, Crystal decides to…

- Suppose that over the last three years, there has been a 10% increase in real GDP, but a 5% increase in nominal GDP, we might conclude thata) The economy has entered a recession.b) The price level has increased, with 5% inflation.c) The price level has decreased, with 5% deflation.d) The economy has experienced a combination of low growth and inflation.arrow_forwardWhich of the following are CORRECT statements regarding inflation and real variables? Select ONLY THOSE THAT APPLY. Select 2 correct answer(s) If nominal interest rate is 10 percent, the inflation rate is 5 percent, and the tax rate is 30 percent, the real after-tax interest rate is 2 percent. Lower than anticipated inflation raises the real wage rate (adjusted for inflation) and workers gain at the expense of employers who lose.
