Answer:

The economic surplus will decrease by $2.20

Explanation:

$81.40 and $79.20 are <em>marginal </em>cost and benefit, which are the changes to total costs and total benefits due to producing and consuming one additional barrel of oil.

They can be used to calculate <em>change </em>to economic surplus, which is the change to the net economic value received by society, which is given by:

marginal benefit - marginal cost = $79.20 - $81.40 = - $2.20

Tema [17]

The accrued interest is calculated by beginning the count of days from the dated date of the corporate bond up until the settlement, without including the settlement date.

From 1st June to 27th June, a day before settlement date makes 27 days, as a result, the number of days in respect of which interest is owed to the underwriter is 27 days

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

29,143

Explanation:

Profit target = 25% on sales

Fixed cost = $51,000

Variable cost = $9.50 per unit

Sales price per unit = $15

To achieve profit target, let the number of units sold be y

Total sales = 15y

Total variable cost = 9.5y

Profit = 0.25 × 15y

         = 3.75y

Sales - Cost = profit

15y - (51000 + 9.5y) = 3.75y

15y - 9.5y - 3.75y = 51000

1.75y = 51000

y = 51000/1.75

y = 29143

29,143 bears must be sold to meet the profit goal.

algol13

Answer:

The expected return that IMI can provide subject to Johnson's risk constraint is 8.5%

Explanation:

Capital Market Line (CML)

Expected return on the market portfolio, E(r_m) = 12 %

Standard deviation on the market portfolio, σ_p = 20%

Risk-free rate, r_f = 5%

E(r_c) =  r_f + [  E(r_p)  - r_f ] × ( σ_c ÷ σ_p)

         = 0.05 + [ 0.12 - 0.05] × (0.10 ÷ 0.20)

= 8.5%
