Answer:
$4.50
Explanation:
In order to make a profit from the futures contracts, it would be appropriate to take a long position in the June futures contract(buy) and take a short position in the December futures contract.
The investor would borrow $60 today which would necessitate paying back $60 plus a half-year in interest payment.
loan repayment=$60*(1+5%/2)=$ 61.50
In December, sell crude oil at $66 and repay the loan principal and interest
profit=$66-$61.50=$4.50

Answer:
A) increase, and total consumer spending on beef will decrease.
Explanation:
A decrease in the population of dairy cows and beef cattle, will result in a leftward shift of the supply curves for both milk and beef. A leftward shift will result in an increase in price at every quantity demanded.
Since the demand for milk is inelastic, a steep increase in price will result in a smaller decrease in quantity demanded. Since the demand for beef is elastic, a steep increase in price will result in a larger decrease in quantity demanded.
Since the demand for milk is inelastic, an increase in price will result in an increase in total spending. On the other hand, since demand for beef is elastic, an increase in price will result in a decrease in total spending.
(a) Earnings per share = Net income/ total number of shares
Net Income = 7,900,000
Total number of shares = 4.1 Million = 4,100,000
Earnings per share = 7,900,000/4,100,000 = $1.9268/share
Earnings per share = $1.93/share (Rounded to 2 decimals)
(b) Price earnings ratio = Price per share/ Earnings per share
Price per share= $54
Earnings per share = $1.9268
Price earnings ratio = 54/1.9268 = 28.03
Answer:
b. 3.70 percent
Explanation:
Expected rate of return of a stock, given probabilities, is calculated by summing up the product of probability of each state occurring by the expected return of the stock should that happen.
Expected rate of return = SUM (probability *return)
Boom;(probability* return) = (0.15* 0.10) = 0.015 or 1.5%
Normal ;(probability* return) = (0.70* 0.04) = 0.028 or 2.8%
Recession ; (probability* return) = (0.15* -0.04) = -0.006 or -0.6%
Next, sum up the expected return for each state of the economy to find the expected rate of return on this stock;
= 1.5% + 2.8% -0.6%
= 3.7%
Therefore, the correct answer is choice B.
