You go to the Wall Street Journal and notice that yields on almost all corporate and Treasury bonds have decreased. The yield decreases may be explained by which of the following?
A. an increase in U. S. inflationary expectations
B. newly expected decline in the value of the dollar
C. an increase in current and expected future returns of real corporate investments
D. decreased Japanese purchase of U. S. Treasury Bills/Bonds
E. none of the above

E) none of the above

Explanation:

A. an increase in U.S. inflationary expectations  HIGHER INFLATION WOULD INCREASE THE INTEREST RATES, NOT DECREASE THEM

B. newly expected decline in the value of the dollar  HIGHER INFLATION = LOWER VALUE OF THE DOLLAR ⇒  WOULD INCREASE THE INTEREST RATES, NOT DECREASE THEM

C. an increase in current and expected future returns of real corporate investments  WOULD INCREASE THE INTEREST RATES

D. decreased Japanese purchase of U.S. Treasury Bills/Bonds  IF THE DEMAND FOR US SECURITIES DECREASES, THEIR PRICE WILL FALL, WHICH WOULD RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN INTEREST RATES

the correct answer is:

it required the president to inform congress within forty-eight hours of any new troop commitment.

the war powers resolution (1973) is a federal law designed to limit the u.s. president’s ability to initiate or intensify military actions abroad without the approval of the congress.

it establishes that the president can send armed forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by congress, statutory authorization, or in case of a national emergency created by attack upon the united states, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

it requires the president to notify congress within 48 hours of sending armed forces to military action.
