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…

- Q 15arrow_forwardPlease see below. These are true or false questions. Need help with all of these please and thank you. T/F Questions. 1. The price level is measured by using a basket of goods and services and calculating how the nominal cost of buying that basket of goods will change over time. 2. The base year values of all price indices is always equal to 1. 3. The rate of inflation is measured as the percentage change between price levels or the values of a price index over time.arrow_forwardQuestion #2 Please Offer Good Explanation.
