Answer:

hurt, benefit

Explanation:

The basis in a future contract is defined as the difference between the spot price of the asset in the cash market and the price of the same assets future contract.

A short hedge is an investment strategy that is used to protect hedge, against the risk of future decline in asset price or basically to hedge against potential losses by selling at a determined rate. This means that when one is in possession of a commodity and in order to protect against a decline, in the market, you sell (go short) the future contract , while long hedge is when you anticipate a need for the underlying commodity in the future. It means that to protect against an increase in the market price, you buy (go long) the future contract. Then when you are ready to buy the commodity, any increase in the market price is offset by your gain on the future contract.

The above means that where an asset and a contract are liquidated before due dates , there would be basis risk hence both the future and spot price need not move in lockstep before delivery date. This means that a decrease in the basis will benefit the short hedger and hurt the long hedger.

Serggg [28]

Answer:

The correct option is (b)

Explanation:

Given:

Monthly payment for 6 months = $30 per month

Time period = 6 month (6 periods)

Monthly interest rate = 2%

In order to compute borrowed amount, present value of these payments need to be computed which is an annuity as same amount of $30 is paid.

Checking PVIFA table for 2%, 6 periods, annuity factor is 5.6014.

Borrowed amount = Monthly payment × PVIFA(2%,6)

                            = 30 × 5.6014

                            = $168.042

Borrowed amount is $168.042 or $168.22 approximately (difference in value due to annuity factor being rounded off)

Suppose that the production of $500,000 worth of steel in the United States requires $100,000 worth of iron ore. The U.S. nomina
brilliants [131]

Answer:

The effective rate of protection for the U.S. steel industry is approximately 17.5%

Explanation:

Mathematically, the effective rate of protection is calculated as follows;

e = (n-ab)/(1-a)

where n is the nominal tariff rate on the final product , a is the ratio of the value of the imported input to the value of the finished product and b is the nominal tariff rate on the imported input

Mathematically;

a = value of iron ore/value of steel = 100,00/500,000 = 1/5 = 0.2

From the question, we can see that nominal tariff rate for steel n = 15% = 15/100 = 0.15

The nominal rate for iron ore b = 5% = 5/100 = 0.05

So we substitute all of these into the equation of e above

e = {0.15-0.2(0.05)}/(1-0.2) = (0.15-0.01)/0.8 = 0.14/0.8 = 0.175 which is same as 17.5%

Orlov [11]

Answer:

c)

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that this worry stems from the concern that TV networks could be charged with deception of the public by failing to disclose the details of product-placement deals. This is due to the fact that if the network does not tell the public the details of the product deals or even that they are being sponsored, then a consumer might buy the product under the impression that it is a good product when in fact, the network is up-selling it. Therefore it is a form of false advertising.

"The common stock of One Community Bank is currently selling for $30. The last annual dividend paid was $1.25 per share and the
Greeley [361]

Answer:

The dividend growth rate is 8%.

Explanation:

Considering the stock is the one that has a constant dividend growth, we use the DDM approach for constant growth model. The constant growth model formula for price of a stock today is,

P0 = D1 / r - g

Where,

  • D1 is the dividend in the next period or D0 * (1 + g)
  • r is the required rate of return
  • g is the growth rate in dividends

Plugging in the available value,

30 = 1.25 ( 1+g) / (0.125 - g)

30 * (0.125 - g) = 1.25 + 1.25g

3.75 - 30g = 1.25 + 1.25g

3.75 - 1.25 = 30g + 1.25g

2.5 / 31.25 = g

g = 0.08 or 8%
