Your first project for this course is to create an informative <\/span>presentation<\/span>. The presentation will analyze how U.S. interest rates behaved during a 10- to 15-year period in the last 50 years. Through your research, you will examine economic trends and risks and the impact of monetary policy on interest rates.<\/p>\n This presentation will help you understand interest rate behavior. By analyzing a sufficient period of time, you will identify trends and changes in interest rates and witness the impact that key economic events have on interest rate determination. In doing this project, you will develop an appreciation for the relationship between policy targets and market factors that impact economic activity. The final product will be submitted in <\/span>Module Three<\/span>.<\/p>\n In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:<\/p>\n Suppose while in the pursuit of your business degree at SNHU, you opt to gain some practical experience and take on an internship as a business analyst for a major company. In this role, you need to complete a research project that demonstrates the relationship between business risks (such as geopolitical, economic, climate, and so forth) and interest rates (in other words, the cost of borrowing to finance capital expenditure). The senior management will use this information to make informed business decisions to meet their growth targets. In completing this project, you will present your findings to senior management.<\/p>\n For this project, create a PowerPoint presentation of 8\u201310 slides. Analyze U.S. interest rate behavior over a 10- to 15-year period during the last 50 years. You will access information in the Federal Reserve Economic Database (FRED) and create a presentation that includes speaker notes and visual representations of your findings.<\/p>\n Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:<\/p>\n\n
