Monica [59]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A. attempts at collusion with rival firms would probably often fail.

Explanation:

An antitrust law can be defined as a statute or legal framework developed by the federal and state government of the United States of America, which regulates the actions and conducts of business entities so as to protect end users (customers) from predatory business activities and to boost competitiveness among businesses.

In the United States of America, an example of an antitrust law is the Sherman Act of 1890.

Generally, if antitrust laws did not prohibit efforts to restrict competition attempts at collusion with rival firms would probably often fail.

Collusion can be defined as an illegal, secret and uncompetitive agreement between rivalry parties in attempt to destroy the market equilibrium through actions such as illegal-pricing.

Alice and Bob entered into a forward contract some time ago. Alice has the long position, while Bob has the short position. The
mart [117]

Answer:

$ - 1.96

Explanation:

After three months, Alice (long the contract) can buy the underlying by paying the delivery price of $40 which is $2 less than $42 the long position would have to pay if the contract was entered today.

DATA

Delivery price = $40

The three-month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) =8%.

The current forward price = $42

Solution

So based on the present situation, Alice would be in $2 profit at the end of 3 months and Bob would be in $2 loss

Present value of Bob's loss (with continuous compounding) = 2\times e^{-0.08\times 0.25}

Present value of Bob's loss (with continuous compounding) = $1.96

The value of Bob's position is $ - 1.96

Widget Co has a market capitalization of $ 100M. It does a 5-for-1 stock split. It then does a 1- for-25 reverse stock split. Fi
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer: $100M

Explanation:

This is a bit of a trick question but when you come into contact with such questions remember this, stock splits do not change the total Market Capitalization. Market Cap is the total cash value of the company's stock in the market. A split would increase the number of shares outstanding but the market cap will remain the same because the shares will decrease in value.
