Or, equivalently, they determine the required return on a financial asset. As the nducement for firms to acquire funds depends on the required return that investors demand, it is this feature of financial markets that signals how the funds in the economy should be allocated among financial assets. This is called the price discovery process.Second, financial markets provide a mechanism for an investor to sell a financial asset. Because of this feature, it is said that a financial market offers liquidity, an attractive feature when circumstances either force or motivate an investor to sell. If there were not liquidity, the owner would be forced to hold a debt instrument until it matures and an equity instrument until the company is either voluntarily or involuntarily liquidated.While all financial markets provide some form of liquidity, the degree of liquidity is one of the factors that characterize different markets. The third economic function of a financial market is that it reduces the cost of transacting. There are two costs associated with transacting: search costs and information costs.Diff: 3Topic: 1.2 Financial MarketsObjective: 1.3: what a financial market is and the principal economic functions it performs2) The shifting of the financial markets from dominance by retail investors to institutional investors is referred to as the ________ of financial markets.A) globalizationB) institutionalizationC) securitizationD) diversificationAnswer: BDiff: 2Topic: 1.2 Financial MarketsObjective: 1.5: the various ways to classify financial markets3) Financial markets can be categorized as those dealing with newly issued financial claims that are called the ________, and those for exchanging financial claims previously issued that are called the ________.A) secondary market; primary market.B) financial market; secondary market.C) OTC market; NYSE/AMEX market.D) primary market; secondary market.Answer: DDiff: 2Topic: 1.2 Financial MarketsObjective: 1.6: the differences between the primary and secondary markets4) Business entities include nonfinancial and financial enterprises. ________ manufacture products such as cars and computers and/or provide nonfinancial services such as transportation and utilities.A) Financial enterprisesB) Nonfinancial enterprisesC) Both financial and nonfinancial enterprisesD) None of theseAnswer: BDiff: 1Topic: 1.2 Financial MarketsObjective: 1.7: the participants in financial markets3 Globalization of Financial Markets1) Which of the below is NOT a factor that has led to the integration of financial markets?A) A factor is liberalization of markets and the activities of market participants in key financial centers of the world.B) A factor is deregulation of markets and the activities of market participants in key financial centers of the world.C) A factor is technological advances for monitoring world markets, executing orders, and analyzing financial opportunities.D) A factor is decreased institutionalization of financial markets.Answer: DComment: The factors that have led to the integration of financial markets are (1) deregulation or liberalization of markets and the activities of market participants in key financial centers of the world; (2) technological advances for monitoring world markets, executing orders, and analyzing financial opportunities; and (3) increased institutionalization of financial markets.Diff: 3Topic: 1.3 Globalization of Financial MarketsObjective: 1.8: reasons for the globalization of financial markets2) A factor leading to the integration of financial markets is ________.A) decreased institutionalization of financial markets.B) increased monitoring of markets.C) technological advances for monitoring domestic markets, executing orders, and analyzing financial opportunities.D) technological advances for monitoring world markets, executing orders, and disregarding financial opportunities.Answer: DComment: The factors that have led to the integration of financial markets are (1) deregulation or liberalization of markets and the activities of market participants in key financial centers of the world; (2) technological advances for monitoring world markets, executing orders, and analyzing financial opportunities; and (3) increased institutionalization of financial markets.Diff: 2Topic: 1.3 Globalization of Financial MarketsObjective: 1.8: reasons for the globalization of financial markets3) From the perspective of a given country, financial markets can be classified as either internal or external.

Financial Innovation: Electronic Banking
Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) were the first innovation on this front. Today, over 250,000 ATMs service the U.S. alone. Automated Banking Machines combine ATMs, the internet, and telephone technology to provide “complete” service. Virtual banks now exist where access is only possible via the internet. The next slide highlights this.

金融市场与金融机构基础(第17章) 英文版答案

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS FOR CHAPTER 17(Questions are in bold print followed by answers.)1. What are the three factors contributing to the significant changes in the common market over the past 50 years?The stock markets have also changed since the early 1960s, due to (1) institutionalization (small investors now play only a minor role); (2) changes in government regulations, e.g. disclosure, types of trades, margin requirements; (3) innovations, e.g. computer technology permits program trading.2.a. How does common stock differ from preferred stock?b. Why is preferred stock viewed as a senior corporate security?a.Preferred stock is entitled to a fixed participation in the form of dividends of the earnings ofthe company. Dividends must be declared and ordinarily they are at the discretion of the board. Common stock is entitled to the residual cashflow, and is junior to the preferred stock both in terms of distribution and liquidation preference.b.Preferred stock is considered a senior instrument because dividends must be paid before anydistribution of dividends can be made to the common stockholders. Also, in a liquidation, the preferred stockholders are paid before the common stockholders, who are considered residual claimants.3. What is the difference between ordinary dividends and qualified dividends and how is each treated for tax purposes?Ordinary dividends are taxed at the income tax bracket. Qualified dividends receive preferential tax rate, either 5% or 15%, depending on the individual’s re gular income tax rate.4. What is meant by a long-term capital gain and how is it treated for tax purposes?Long-term capital gains are appreciations in value of the stock that has been held for more than one year. It is entitled to preferential tax rat e, either 5% or 15% depending on the individual’s regular income tax rate.5. The following quote is taken from Wayne H. Wagner, “The Taxonomy of Trading Strategies,” in Katrina F. Sherrerd (ed.), Trading Strategies and Execution Costs (Charlottesville, VA: The Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts, 1988).When a trader decides how to bring an order to the market, he or shemust deal with some very important issues; to me, the most importantis: What kind of trade is this? It could be either an active or a passivetrade. The type of trade will dictate whether speed of execution ismore or less important than cost of execution. In other words, do Iwant immediate trading (a market order); or am I willing to forgo theimmediate trade for the possibility of trading less expensively if I amwilling to “give” on the timing of the trade (a limit order)?a.What is meant by a market order?b.Why would a market order be placed when an investor wants immediate trading?c.What is meant by a limit order?d.What are the risks associated with a limit order?a. A market order is one which is sent to the floor for immediate execution as soon as it isreceived. The buyer or seller receives the market price at the time the trade is executed.b. A market order is executed as soon as possible.c. A limit order is executed when the price reaches a predetermined level.d.The limit may not be reached. The investor cannot predict the timing of the execution.6. Suppose that Mr. Mancuso has purchased a stock for $45 and that he sets a maximum loss that he will accept on this stock of $6.What type of order can Mr. Mancuso place?He will put a sell stop order setting the stop price at $45.7.a.What is a program trade?b.What are the various types of commission arrangements for executing a programtrade and the advantages and disadvantages of each?a. A program trade is an institutional buy or sell of a large basket of stocks.b.If a program trade is executed on an agency basis, commissions are bid for by a group ofbrokerage firms. The advantage is that the commissions tend to be lower, but the disadvantage is that the execution price may not be the best because the impact costs and the potential for front-running. Dealers can also execute a program trade on a principal basis, which means that they buy or sell the amounts from inventory and bear the risk of distribution. The advantage is that the investor knows the trading price in advance, but pays a higher commission.8.a.Explain the mechanics and some key rules of a short sale.b.What restrictions are imposed on short selling activities?a. A short seller borrows the stocks to sell on the market, giving the proceeds of the sale to hisbroker as collateral. Should prices decline he will buy the stocks, return them to the broker and obtain the sales proceeds.b. A short sale must be announced at the time the order is given , and it can occur only after anuptick in the market price of the stock. The short seller is also responsible for paying any dividends due on the stocks before he covers them with a purchase.9. What role does the broker call rate play in a margin purchase?The broker call rate is the rate paid on a bank loan by a broker, who is lending the cash to a customer buying stocks on margin. The broker will normally add a slight service charge to this fee. This rate will affect the margin transaction’s profitability.10.a.What is meant by maintenance margin when stocks are purchased on margin?b.What is meant by debit balance?c.What is meant by credit balance?a.The maintenance margin is the minimum amount of equity in the investor's margin account. Ifthe value of the securities changes enough to erode the value of equity, the investor must provide additional cash to supplement the amount posted.b. A debit balance is the value of the equity less the borrowed amount in a margin purchase.c. A credit balance is the value of the equity plus the borrowed amount in a short sale.11. The following statements are taken from Greta E. Marshall’s article “Execution Costs: The Plan Sponsor’s View,” which appears in Trading Strategies and Execution Costs, published by The Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts in 1988. (The publication is the product of a conference held in New York City on December 3, 1987):a.“There are three components of trading costs. First there a re direct costs which maybe measured—commissions. Second, there are indirect—or market impact—costs.Finally, there are the undefined costs of not trading.” What are market impact costs, and what do you think the “undefined costs of not trading” represent?b.“Market impact, unlike broker commissions, is difficult to identify and measure.”Why is market impact cost difficult to measure?a.Market impact costs are the increases in the bid-ask spread faced by investors who wish toexecute large transactions on a timely basis. Large transactions tend to drive prices in a direction which is adverse to the investor. The “undefined costs of not trading” are opportunity costs that investors face because they failed to make a transaction at the proper time to take advantage of a certain price.b.It is difficult to determine how much of a change in price is due to ordinary market fluctuationsand how of the price rise or drop is due to the costs of absorbing a large trade. The opportunity cost of not trading is also difficult to measure.12.a.What is meant by “soft dollars”?b.What is the concern with soft dollars?a.Soft dollars is compensation to customers in the form of information and preferential timingwhich is “paid” by broker/dealers in exchange for commitments of orde r flow.b.The concern is that the client is not free to shop around for the best bid or best offer, net ofcommissions, for all their transactions, but have to do an agreed amount of transaction volume with the specific broker/dealer. The SEC does not ban soft dollars, but it does regulate it.13.a.What is meant by tick size?b.What is the tick size for common stock?a.The tick size is the minimum price variation for a security.b.The minimum tick size is a penny.14. Why were price limits and collars imposed on stock in the United States?Circuit breakers and trading collar rules halts trading when certain temporary forces, such as emotional trading or a panicked market, threatens stability of market prices. These reforms were made after the stock market crash of October 19, 1987.15.a.What is meant by the circuit breaker rule?b.What is meant by the trading collar rule?a. A circuit breaker is a set of trading rules that stop trading once the market reaches certaindownside benchmarks.b. A trading collar restricts index arbitrage trading. If the DJIA moves up or down 2% fro theprevious closing value, program trading orders to buy or sell the S&P 500 stocks as a part of the index arbitrage strategies must be entered with directions to have the order executions affected in a manner that stabilizes share prices.16. What are the three general types of stock market indicators?Stock market indicators can be classified into three groups: (1) those produced by stock exchanges based on all stocks traded on the exchange; (2) those produced by organizations that subjectively select the stocks to be included in indexes; (3) those where stock selection is based on an objective measure, such as the market capitalization of the company.17. What is the difference between a market-value-weighted index and an equally weighted index?While the stock market indicators rise and fall in unison, several factors differentiate these. One of these is the relative weight assigned to the stock in the index. A market value weighted index is weighting by the market value of the company (capitalization). An equally weighted index will assign weight to each company equally regardless of its market value. The Dow Jones Industrial is a price-weighted index, where as value line composite average is an equally weighted index.18. What are the main features of the S&P 500 common stock index?The S&P 500 index is broad based measurement of changes in stock market conditions of 500 widely held common stocks. The composition of the 500 stocks is flexible. It represents stocks chosen from the two major national stock exchanges and the over-the-counter market.19. “The stocks selected for the S&P 500 are the largest 500 companies in the United States.” Indicate whether you agree or disagree with thi s statement.Disagree .The index captures overall stock market conditions as reflected by a broad range of economic indicators.20. There are participants and analysts in the stock market that are called chartists or technical analysts. What does the theory that the market is weak-form efficient say about these investors’ chances of beating the market?The weak form of the efficient market hypothesis states that past prices cannot predict future trends. Price changes are statistically independent of each other. Thus chartists or technical analysts may not gain superior returns.21. The November 1985 prospectus of the Merrill Lynch Phoenix Fund, Inc., a mutual fund, stated the following investment objective:Based upon the belief that the pricing mechanism of the securitiesmarkets lacks perfect efficiency so that prices of securities of troubledissuers are often depressed to a greater extent than warranted by thecondition of the issuer and that, while investment in such securitiesinvolves a high degree of risk, such investments offer the opportunityfor significant capital gains.What does this strategy assume about the pricing efficiency of the stock market?This strategy assumes pricing inefficiency of the stock market. The prices of these securities do not reflect the true intrinsic value and thus may offer opportunities for reaping abnormal returns.22. Why should an investor who believes that the market is efficient pursue an indexing strategy?This is a strategy that capital market theory suggests captures the efficiency of the market. If the market is truly efficient, investors cannot outperform a market index after adjustments for risk and transaction costs.。

Demand curve
因此,对银行准备金的需求数量等于法定 准备金加上超额准备金,超额准备金是应对存 款流出的保险金额,而持有这些超额准备金的 成本就是其机会成本,即这些银行准备金借出 所能赚取的利率,它等于联邦基金利率。因此随 着联邦基金利率降低,持有超额准备金的机会 成本也将降低,当其他条件保持不变时,对银 行准备金的需求数量将会增加。银行准备金的 需求曲线向下移动。

A lower discount rate, with the federal funds rate held constant,leads to a greater quantity of reserves supplied and shifts the s s supply curve to the right from R1 to R2.The result is that the equilibrium moves from point 1 to point 2,lowering the federal funds 1 2 rate from iff to iff.

Quantity of ResAs we saw in the preceding section,when discount lending increases, the quantity of reserves supplied to the banking system also increases. when banks borrow from the Fed,their principal benefit is the earnings from lending these funds out at the federal funds rate . Thus holding everything else constant, when the federal funds rate increases, banks will borrow more from the Fed,and the resulting rise in discount lending means t hat the quantity of reserves supplied rise. For this reason ,the supply curve for reserves,slopes upward.
Demand curve
2.excess reserves the additional Reserves banks choose to hold. (超额准备金,这是银行选择持有的额 外准备金。)
Demand curve
Therefore,the quantity of reserves demanded equals required reserves plus the quantity of excess reserves demanded. Excess reserves are insurance against deposit outflows,and the Cost of holding these excess reserves is their opportunity cost, the interest rate that could have been earned on loaning these reserves out,which is equivalent to the federal funds rate.

we have already seen that an open market purchase leads to a greater quantity of reserves supplied,this is true at any given federal funds rate. An open market purchase therefore shifts the supply curve to the right s s from R1 to R2 and moves the equilibrium from point 1 to point 2,lower-

When the Fed lowers the discount rate, the federal funds rate falls.
The conclusion

贴现利率的影响将由需求曲线与供给曲线的交点 是位于供给曲线的垂直部分还是位于其水平部分 而决定。当交点发生于供给曲线的垂直部分时的 情况,此时没有贴现贷款。在这种情况下,美联 储将贴现利率降低,供给曲线上没有贴现借贷的 部分将会缩短,而供给曲线和需求曲线的交点保 持不变。因此,在这种情况下,均衡联邦基金利 率没有变化。结论:大部分贴现利率的变动对联 邦基金利率没有影响。然而,如果需求曲线与供 给曲线的交点位于供给曲线的水平部分,就会有 一些贴现借贷发生,贴现率的变动会对联邦基金 率产生影响。

Thus as the federal funds rate decreases , the opportunity cost of holding excess reserves falls and,holding everything else constant,including the quantity of required reserves , the quantity of reserves demanded rises.
