Answer:

False

Explanation:

The reason is that the short hedge is future contract sold by the seller of inventory and long hedge is the future contract purchased by the seller of the inventory at a specified date and at a agreed price. So the statement is incorrect and also that the long hedge or short hedge does not have any association with maturity or duration of hedging instrument.

If equilibrium is achieved in a competitive market the deadweight loss will equal the sum of consumer surplus and producer surpl
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

there is no deadweight loss.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, and there is free entry and exit in the market.

This simply means that, in a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.

Generally, a perfectly competitive market is characterized by the following features;

1. Perfect information.

2. No barriers, it is typically free.

3. Equilibrium price and quantity.

4. Many buyers and sellers.

5. Homogeneous products.

Examples of a perfectly competitive market are the Agricultural sector, e-commerce and the foreign exchange market.

Hence, if equilibrium is achieved in a competitive market then, there is no deadweight loss i.e a loss of economic efficiency due to a lack of balance in competing economical influences for goods or services.

4. The likelihood of a payment occurring is remote, while the estimated potential amount is $1.14 million.

  • no journal entry is required

A contingent liability (or loss) that is remote, does not need to be journalized or recorded, nor included in the footnotes of the financial statements.

velikii [3]

The statement that holds true for the American Option is (A) Put-call parity provides an upper and lower bound for the difference between call and put prices

In financial management  put–call parity concept is used to define the  relationship that exist  between the price of a European call option and European put option, and both of them have identical strike price and expiry

The formula used for calculating  put call parity is

c + k = f +p

where (c) call price plus the (k) strike price of both options is equal to the futures price(f) plus the put price(p)
