(Interest rate parity is a no-arbitrage condition representing an equilibrium state under which investors will be indifferent to interest rates available on bank deposits in two countries.[1] The fact that this condition does not always hold allows for potential opportunities to earn riskless profits from covered interest arbitrage. Two assumptions central to interest rate parity are capital mobility and perfect substitutability of domestic and foreign assets. Given foreign exchange market equilibrium

Effect of changes in substrate concentration on the reaction rate of an enzyme IB biology Internal Assessment 3/23/12 Research Question: Effect of changes in substrate concentration amount on the reaction rate of an enzyme Introduction: In this experiment‚ the substrate is hydrogen peroxide. The purpose of this investigation is to find out the relationship between the substrate concentration and the rate of reaction. Substrates are molecules that are acted upon by enzymes. For instance

Homeostasis of BP and Heart Rate A normal blood pressure can be identified by having a systolic pressure of around 120 and a diastolic pressure of around 80. This value is expressed as "120/80". A normal heart rate is expressed as the amount of times it beats in a minute; a normal adult heart rate is between 60-100 beats per minute (BPM). There is a relation between these two measurements‚ but they are stimulated by several different circumstances. The blood pressure is mainly affected

a year and U.S. policy makers repealed the regulatory polices it had put in place to control the price of gasoline. The recent surge in oil prices is due to a large amount of consumption‚ especially in the U.S. in which 25 percent of the world ’s oil output is used. The increase in global oil consumption last year was the highest increase in nearly 30 years. A second reason for the rising oil price is that supplies are

Additionally‚ the US is experiencing rising costs for healthcare and education. Yet‚ the

The Interest Rate Essentially‚ interest is nothing more than the cost someone pays for the use of someone else’s money. The interest rate that applies to investors is the Federal Reserve’s federal funds rate. This is the cost that banks are charged for borrowing money from Federal Reserve banks. Why is this number so important? It is the way the Federal Reserve (the "Fed") attempts to control inflation. Inflation is caused by too much money chasing too few goods (or too much demand for too little

amperage is generated from flows of electrons between the two metals in the metal sulfate solution of the electrolyte. In order for a chemical reaction to take place‚ the reactants must collide. The collision between the molecules in a chemical reaction provides the kinetic energy needed to break the necessary bonds so that new bonds can be formed. Thus‚ increasing the concentration of the anode‚ zinc sulfate‚ will increases the rate of reaction for oxidation because there are more zinc ions in the new

transition (DT) refers to the transition from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates as a country develops from a pre-industrial to an industrialized economic system. This is typically demonstrated through a demographic transition model(DTM). The theory is based on an interpretation of demographic history developed in 1929 by the American demographer Warren Thompson (1887–1973).[1] Thompson observed changes‚ or transitions‚ in birth and death rates in industrialized societies over the
