Assume the demand function for basketballs is given by QD = 150 −3P + 0.1I, where P = price of a basketball, and I = average inc

ome of consumers. Also, assume the supply of basketballs is given by QS = 2P. If the market for basketballs is perfectly competitive, and the average income is equal to $1,500, what is the equilibrium price and quantity? What if a 20 percent income tax is introduced?

Answer: (1) Equilibrium price = 60 and Equilibrium quantity = 120, when I = $1500.

(2)  Equilibrium price = 54 and Equilibrium quantity = 108, when I = $1200.

Explanation:

(1) When Average income (I) = $1500

At equilibrium, QD = QS

150 - 3p + 0.1I = 2p

150 - 3p + 0.1 × 1500 = 2p

5p = 300

p = \frac{300}{5}

p = 60

q = 2p ⇒ 2 × 60 = 120

Hence, p and q are equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity, respectively.

(2) If 20% income tax is introduced then Average income (I) = $1500 - 20% of  $1500 ⇒ $1500 - $300 = $1200

At equilibrium, QD = QS

150 - 3p + 0.1I = 2p

150 - 3p + 0.1 × 1200 = 2p

5p = 270

p = \frac{270}{5}

p = 54

q = 2p ⇒ 2 × 54 = 108

Hence, p and q are equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity, respectively.

J Corp. common stock is priced at $36.50 per share. The company just paid its $0.50 quarterly dividend. Interest rates are 6.0%.
viva [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

The time (T) = 6 months = 6/12 years  = 0.5 years

Interest rate (r) = 6% = 0.06

The stock is priced [S(0)] = $36.50

The price the stock sells at 6 months (V_c) = $3.20

European call (K) = $35

The price (P) is given by:

P=V_c+K.e^{-rT}-S(0)+Dividends\\But, Dividends = 0.5*e^{-0.25*0.06}+ 0.5*e^{-0.5*0.06}\\Therefore, P=V_c+K.e^{-rT}-S(0)+0.5*e^{-0.25*0.06}+ 0.5*e^{-0.5*0.06}\\Substituting:\\P=3.2+35*e^{-0.06*0.5}-36.5+0.5*e^{-0.25*0.06}+ 0.5*e^{-0.5*0.06}\\P=3.2+33.9656-36.5+0.4926+0.4852\\P=1.64

The price of a 6-month, $35.00 strike put option is $1.65
