What type of yield curve is shown? Select c. What information does this graph tell you? d. Based on this yield curve, if you needed to borrow money for longer than one year, would it make sense for you to borrow short term and renew the loan or borrow long term? Explain. I. Even though the borrower renews the loan at increasing short-term rates, those rates are still below the long-term rate, but what makes the higher long-term rate attractive is the rollover risk that may possibly occur if the short-term rates go even higher than the long-term rate (and that could be for a long timel), 11. Generally, it would make sense to borrow short term because each year the loan is renewed the interest rate would be higher III. Generally, it would make sense to borrow short term because each year the loan is renewed the interest rate would be lower. IV. Generally, it would make sense to borrow long term because each year the loan is renewed the interest rate would be lower. V.
