Answer: C. an implied contract.
Explanation:
An Implied Contract is one that arises as a result of the way one or both of the parties involved in the contract acts towards the other.
Unlike an Express Contract, it need not be written down but it does have the same legal weight and strength of a written contract.
The basic principle of this contract is that people should always be treated fairly in business transactions so the need to always pen it down is not necessary.
By walking in and leaving his clothes at the laundry, Bill got into an Implied Contract as it would be unfair for Tom to just clean his clothes with no payment.
Answer: C- Alzania's neighbor exported half its production of cotton that year
Explanation: Alzania produces and consumes 500,000 tons of cotton during a year. While, the neighbor which also employs the same number of people in the cotton industry, consumed 400,000 tons of cotton. There is no information on production of the neighbor. Just by looking at the consumption units we can argue that Alzania has an absolute advantage over the neighbor as it consumes more. However, if there is any information on the amount of exports of cotton from the neighbor then it will weaken the absolute advantage conclusion.
Thus, if <em>Alzania's neighbor exported half its production of cotton that year </em>the total production of cotton is greater of the neighbor than Alzania.
Answer:
$21,000
Explanation:
initial investment $25,000
we need to determine the expected value of every possibility:
- $15,000 loss ⇒ 20% x $10,000 = $2,000
- $29,000 loss ⇒ 15% x $5,000 = $750
- $40,000 gain ⇒ 5% x $65,000 = $3,250
- break even ⇒ 60% x $25,000 = $15,000
total expected value = $21,000
Answer:
Profit of $3000
Explanation:
The exchange rate of a future contract is usually fixed at the time when the contract is buy 100,000 euros at a futures contract price of $1.22.
The Value in dollars at the time is: $122,000
At the maturity spot rate of the euro is $1.25.
The value of the contract is: $125,000
The difference:
$125,000-122,000
=$3000.
Since the maturity spot rate is higher, there is a profit of $3000 from speculating with the futures contract.
