In this assignment, you will apply information learned about the financial sector and monetary policy to strategies their chosen company (APPLE, INC.) can use to increase revenue and profitability.

Using your research forecast the impact monetary policy will have on your company. Look at the data and identify any monetary policy that will likely be implemented and explain what impact that will have on the business you chose.
