Question 21

Direction for questions 21 - 25 :Reading Comprehension – Answer the questions using the following passageThe function of capital markets is to facilitate an exchange of funds among all participants, and yet in practice we find that certain participants are not on a par with others. Members of society have varying degrees of market strength in terms of information they bring to a transaction, as well as of purchasing power and creditworthiness, as defined by lenders. For example, within minority communities, capital markets do not properly fulfill their functions, they do not provide access to the aggregate flow of funds in the United States. The financial system does not generate the credit or investment vehicles needed for underwriting economic development in minority areas. The problem underlying this dysfunction is found in a rationing mechanism affecting both the available alternatives for investment and the amount of financial resources. This creates a distributive mechanism penalising members of minority groups because of their socioeconomic differences from others. The existing system expresses definite socially based investment preferences that result from the previous allocation of income and that influence the allocation of resources for the present and future.The system tends to increase the inequality of income distribution. And, in the United States economy, a greater inequality of income distribution leads to a greater concentration of capital in certain types of investment. Most traditional financial-market analysis studies ignore financial markets’ deficiencies in allocation because of analysts’ inherent preferences for the simple model of perfect competition. Conventional financial analysis pays limited attention to issues of market structure and dynamics, relative costs of information, and problems of income distribution. Market participants are viewed as acting as entirely independent and homogeneous individuals with perfect foresight about capital-market behavior. Also, it is assumed that each individual in the community at large has the same access to the market and the same opportunity to transact and to express the preference appropriate to his or her individual interest. Moreover, it is assumed that transaction costs for various types of financial instruments (stock, bonds, etc.,) are equally known and equally divided among all community members.The passage states that traditional studies of the financial market overlook imbalances in the allocation of financial resources because A an optimum allocation of resources is the final result of competition among participants
B those performing the studies choose an oversimplified description of the influences on competition
C such imbalances do not appear in the statistics usually compiled to measure the market’s behavior
D the analysts who study the market are unwilling to accept criticism of their methods as biased
Question 22

The author’s main point is argued by A giving examples that support a conventional generalisation
B showing that the view opposite to the author’s is self-contradictory
C criticizing the presuppositions of a proposed plan
D showing that omission in a theoretical description make it inapplicable in certain cases
Question 23

A difference in which of the following would be an example of inequality in transaction cost as alluded in the second part of the paragraph? A Maximum amounts of loans extended by a bank to businesses in different areas
B Fees charged to large and small investors for purchasing stocks
C Prices of similar goods offered in large and small stores in an area
D Stipends paid to different attorneys for preparing legal suits for damages
Question 24

Which one of the following can be inferred about minority communities on the basis of the passage? A They provide a significant portion of the funds that become availble for investment in the financial market.
B They are penalised by the tax system, which increases the inequality of the distribuiton of income between investors and wage earners.
C They do not receive the share of the amount of fund available for investement that would be expected according to traditional financial market analysis.
D They are not granted governmental subsidies to assist in underwriting the cost of economic development.
Question 25

According to the passage, a questionable assumption of the conventional theory about the operation of financial markets is that A creditworthiness as determined by lenders is a factor determining market access
B market structure and market dynamics depend on income distribution
C a scarcity of alternative sources of funds would result from taking socioeconomic factors into consideration
D those who engage in financial-market transactions are perfectly well informed about the market.
