When buying or selling a futures contract, the trader commits what amount of funds the amount of the initial margin. A futures contract is a legal agreement to buy or sell assets, mainly commodities, at a set price but it will be delivered and paid for later. Based on the definition of a futures contract, the trader will have to commit to the initial amount that was set to be traded when the legal agreement was made.

Answer:

Explanation:

Let x be the amount loaned at 7% and ($19,000 - x) be the amount loaned at 15%

Given:

Interest incurred at 7%, I1 + Interest incurred at 15%, I2 = $2000

Interest, I = amount × rate

I1 = 7/100 × x

I2 = 15/100 × ($19,000 - x)

From the above expressions,

(0.07)x + (0.15) × ($19,000 - x) = $2,000

Solving for x,

0.07x + 2850 - 0.15x = 2000

Collecting like terms,

0.08x = 850

x = $10625

The amount loaned at 7% interest is

$10625

The amount loaned at 15% interest is ($19000 - $10625)

= $8375

Tater and Pepper Corp. reported free cash flows for 2018 of $58.1 million and investment in operating capital of $41.1 million.

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

104.6 million

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Free cash flows for 2018 = $58.1 million

Investment in operating capital = $41.1 million

Depreciation expense = $15.5

Taxes on EBIT in 2018 = $20.9 million

Now,

EBIT

= Free Cash Flow + Investment in operating capital + Taxes - Depreciation

on substituting the respective values, we get

EBIT = $58.1 million + $41.1 million + $20.9 million - $15.5

EBIT = 104.6 million
