If a Bank Is Asked to Quote a Rate on a One-Year

question 20

True/False

If a bank is asked to quote a rate on a one-year loan one year from today and the current interest rate on a one-year loan is 7 percent and a two-year loan is 8 percent, it should quote 9 percent.
A one-year loan one year from today: [(1.08)^2/(1.07)] - 1 = 0.09 = 9%.

Parallel Circuit

A type of electrical circuit in which the components are connected alongside each other, forming branches such that each component has the same voltage.

Resistor Voltage

The voltage drop across a resistor, determined by the current flowing through it and its resistance, according to Ohm's Law.

Power Factor

A measure of how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output, with a value ranging from 0 to 1, where 1 indicates maximum efficiency.
