Jiminez, Inc. paid more dividends to stockholders this month than it actually generated in net income. The excess amount of dividends must be from retained earnings carried forward from the previous month. In preparing the income statement for the month of March, Jiminez, Inc. must deduct all the expenses from its revenue to obtain the net income before tax. The bank loan does not form part of the items for the preparation of the income statement, as only temporary accounts are considered.

Answer:
2129 futures contracts to be sold
Explanation:
Asset worth = $310 million
Asset duration = 12 years
liabilities = $248 million
Liabilities duration = 5 years
T-bond futures contracts = 104-20 (30nds)
% of assets = 310 / 248 =
<u>Determine how many futures contracts Village Bank will sell to fully hedge the balance </u>
Number of Contracts = -[Assets * (Asset Duration – (Liabilities Duration * % of Assets) / (Duration * Contract Value)]
= - [ 310 * ( 12 - ( 5 * (310/248)) / ( 8 * ( 104 + ( 20/30)) ]
= - [ 310 * ( 12 - 6.25 ) / ( 8 * 104.6667 ) ]
= - [ 310 * 5.75 / 837.3336 ]
= - 2.12878 * 1000
= 2128.78 ≈ 2129 ( number of futures contracts to be sold )
