Answer to Question 1

Answer: From the present value equation, PV = FV  , the student should understand that prices (i.e., present values) are inversely related to interest rates. An increase in one leads to a decrease in the other if we hold the other inputs constant. We see this in many places in the economy such as the negative impact on stock and bond prices when interest rates rise or are expected to rise.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
