Answer:

a.) The proportional up movement , u, for the currency can be calculated using the following formula:

u = eStd Dev * Square root of t

u = e0.06*square root of 0.25

u = 1.0305

b.) Probability of up movement, p , = (a - d) / (u - d)

where   a = ert where r = 0.025, t = 0.25

a = e0.025*0.25 = 1.0063

d = 1 / u = 1 / 1.3050 = 0.7663

p = (1.0063-0.7663) / (1.3050-0.7663)

p = 0.46

1-p = 1-0.46 = 0.54

c)  Price of an American Call Option on the currency : we use binomial tree for that , as follows: The amounts below line indicate the option price and figures above line indicate the underlying asset price which is 0.55555

Which describes a benefit from government regulation of a natural monopoly?
Degger [83]

Answer:

The correct answer is Livy gas utility bill does not rise up during the shortage of the natural gas.

Explanation:

In the monopoly market, there is only one establishment control over the price of the products in the market. So, during the shortage of the product in the market, that establishment could increase or rise the price of the product and the customers would be forced to buy or conform as there is no other alternative or competitors in the market.

Government regulation might create the price ceiling which determine the maximum price that a company will make for a product.
