The use of money as a medium of exchange promotes economic efficiency by minimizing the time spent in exchanging goods and services.2. Unit of Account Unit of account, that is, it is used to measure value in the economy. We measure the value of goods and services in terms of money, just as we measure weight in terms of pounds or distance in terms of miles. 3.Store of Value Store of value it is a repository of purchasing power over time. A store of value is used to save purchasing power from the time income is received until the time it is spent. This function of money is useful, because most of us do not want to spend our income immediately upon receiving it, but rather prefer to wait until we have the time or the desire to shop.Chapter 4 Understanding Interest Rates1. 2.Present value or Present discounted value: a dollar paid to you one year from now is less valuable to you than a dollar paid to you today.Yield to Maturity 到期收益率 ：the interest rate that equates the present value of cash flow payments received from a debt instrument with its value today. 3. Coupon bond息票债券 ：A coupon bond pays the owner of the bond a fixed interest payment every year until the maturity date, when a specified final amount is repaid.4.Consol 有蓄 or perpetuity永久债券: it is a perpetual bond with no maturity date and no repayment of principal that makes fixed coupon payments of $C forever.5. 6.Nominal interest rate :The interest rate makes no allowance for inflation Real interest rate : The interest rate that is adjusted by subtracting expected changes in the price level inflation so that it more accurately reflects the true cost of borrowing.名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 3 页,共 7 页精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - Questions and answers Num.1: Distinguish between Fixed-Payment and Coupon Bond.A:1When the coupon bond is priced at its face value, the yield to maturity equals the coupon rate.2 The price of a coupon bond and the yield to maturity are negatively related; that is, as the yield to maturity rises, the price of the bond falls As the yield to maturity falls, the price of the bond rises.3 The yield to maturity is greater than the coupon rate when the bond price is below its face value. Num.2: The distinction between real and nominal interest rates.A: The interest rate makes no allowance for inflation, and it is more precisely referred to as the nominal interest rate. We distinguish it from the real interest rate, the interest rate that is adjusted by subtracting expected changes in the price level inflation so that it more accurately reflects the true cost of borrowing. This interest rate is more precisely referred to as the ex ante real interest rate because it is adjusted for expected changes in the price level. The ex ante real interest rate that is most important to economic decisions, and typically it is what economists mean when they make reference to the "real" interest rate.ir=i-i = nominal interest rate = expected inflation rate Num.3: The distinction between interest rates and returnsA: the return on a bond will not necessarily equal the yield to maturity on that bond.RET=i + g The only bond whose return equals the initial yield to maturity is one whose time to maturity is the same as the holding period A rise in interest rates is associated with a fall in bond prices, resulting in capital losses on bonds whose terms to maturity are longer than the holding period. The more distant a bond's maturity, the greater the size of the percentage price change associated with an interest -rate change.The more distant a bond's maturity, the lower the rate of return that occurs as a result of the increase in the interest rate. Even though a bond has a substantial initial interest rate, its return can turn out to be negative if interest rates rise.Chapter 5 The Behavior of Interest Rates1. 2.Liquidity : The ease and speed with which an asset can be turned into cash.market equilibrium : market equilibrium occurs when the amount that people are willing to buy demand equals the amount that people are willing to sell supply at a given price.名师归纳总结 3.liquidity preference framework : determines the equilibrium interest rate in 第 4 页,共 7 页- - - - - - -精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 4.terms of the supply of and demand for money.opportunity cost : The amount of interest expected return sacrificed by not holding the alternative asset.5. 6.excess supply : The quantity of bonds supplied exceeds the quantity of bonds demanded, is called a condition of excess supply.excess demand : the quantity demanded is greater than the quantity supplied.Questions and answers Num.1 : Determining the quantity demanded of an asset.A: 1 Wealth, the total resources owned by the individual, including all assets 2 Expected return the return expected over the next period on one asset relative to alternative assets 91.3 Risk the degree of uncertainty associated with the return on one asset relative to alternative assets 4 Liquidity the ease and speed with which an asset can be turned into cash relative to alternative assets Num.2 : Whats the Theory of Asset Demand.A : l The quantity demanded of an asset is positively related to wealth.2 The quantity demanded of an asset is positively related to its expected return relative to alternative assets. 3 The quantity demanded of an asset is negatively related to the risk of its returns relative to alternative assets. 4The quantity demanded of an asset is positively related to its liquidity relative to alternative assets.Num.3 : Shifts in the Demand for Money 1） Income Effect a higher level of income causes the demand for money at each interest rate to increase and the demand curve to shift to the right.2） Price-Level Effect a rise in the price level causes the demand for money at each interest rate to increase and the demand curve to shift to the right.Chapter 6 The Risk and Term Structure of Interest Rates 1. Default-free bond : U.S. Treasury bonds have usually been considered to have no default risk because the federal government can always increase taxes to pay of its obligations. Bonds like these with no default risk are called default-free bonds.2. Yield curve : A plot of the yields on bonds with differing terms to maturity but the same risk, liquidity, and Lax considerations is called a yield curve.3. Credit-rating agency : investment advisory firms that rate the quality of corporate and municipal bonds in terms of the probability of default.4. Preferred habitat theory : It assumes that investors have a preference for bonds of one maturity over another, a particular bond maturity preferred 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 5 页,共 7 页精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - habitat in which they prefer to invest. Because they prefer bonds of one maturity over another, they will be willing to buy bonds that do not have the preferred maturity habitat only if they earn a somewhat higher expected return. Because investors are likely to prefer the habitat of short -term bonds over that of longer-term bonds.5. Liquidity premium theory : the interest rate on a long -term bond will equal an average of short-term interest rates expected to occur over the life of the long-term bond plus a liquidity premium also referred to as a term premium that responds to supply and demand conditions for that bond.6. Risk premium : The spread between the interest rates on bonds with default risk and default-free bonds, both of the same maturity, called the risk premium.Questions and answers Num.1: What is the Facts Theory of the Term Structure of Interest Rates Must Explain.A: 1 Interest rates on bonds of different maturities move together over time.2 When short-term interest rates are low, yield curves are more likely to have an upward slope; when short-term rates are high, yield curves are more likely to slope downward and be inverted .3Yield curves almost always slope upwardNum.2: What is the three theories to explain the three facts. A: 1Expectations theory explains the first two facts but not the third.2Segmented markets theory explains fact three but not the first two. 3 Liquidity premium theory combines the two theories to explain all three facts.N:What is the preferred habitat Theory. A: 1 Investors have a preference for bonds of one maturity over another. 2They will be willing to buy bonds of different maturities only if they earn a somewhat higher expected return.3Investors are likely to prefer short-term bonds over longer-term bonds.Chapter 7 The Stock Market, the Theory of Rational Expectations, and the Efficient Market Hypothesis 1. Dividend : Dividends are payments made periodically, usually every quarter, to stockholders.2. Rational expectations : Expectations will be identical to optimal forecasts the best guess of the future using all available information.3.
