Answer: 5

Explanation: C

Consumer surplus is the difference between the quantity that a consumer is eager to pay for any product and the amount that he or she really ends up paying for that commodity. In this question Melanie was expecting to pay $79.95 when she saw the tag. Later she came to know that the coat was on a sale and she would have to pay 20% less. She finally paid $63.96 that is $15.99 less than the stated price $15.99. Thus, $15.99 is the consumers' surplus.

"A customer is long the Swiss Franc at a cost of $.60 per SF. The customer wishes to place a collar on the position using PHLX S
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

To create the collar, the customer would: <u>buy 1 PHLX 59 SF Call and sell 1 PHLX 61 SF Call.</u>

Explanation:

The meaning of a "collar" is that a put is bought at a strike price that is less than the price of the underlying instrument (this implies that a floor has been put on the price of the instrument); and that a call is disposed at a strike price which is higher than the price of the underlying instrument (this indicates that a ceiling above which the instrument will be called away has been created).

When a collar is put on the price, it indicates that the customer is majorly giving a guarantee for the underlying instrument's minimum and maximum price.

This should make the net cost of the collar to be close to zero due to the fact that the two contracts are "out the money" and also because the premium paid to buy the put is offset by the premium received when the call was sold.

Therefore, since customer in the question wishes to place a collar on the position using PHLX SF FLEX options, he would <u>buy 1 PHLX 59 SF Call and sell 1 PHLX 61 SF Call</u> to create the collar.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Representative democracy.

Explanation:

Representative democracy refers to a system where the people govern through the election of parties or representatives with decision-making rights. Representative democracy can also be seen as a collective term for a number of democratic models. Common to these, however, is that the core consists of regularly recurring elections between competing representatives. People's sovereignty is achieved by the citizens influencing the government by voting in these elections. It is by far the most widespread method of exercising authoritative and legitimate control, demanding responsibility and developing debate in modern democracies.

Ede4ka [16]
<span>When the economist says that material wants are insatiable, he means that these wants are virtually unlimited and therefore incapable of complete satisfaction. Insatiable means that they are impossibly to satisfy.
