given data 
                      State 1           State 2               State 3
Probability      25%            50%                      25%
Spot rate      $ 2.50 /£    $ 2.00 /£            $ 1.60 /£
P*                   £ 1,800       £ 2,250             £ 2,812.50
P                     $4,500          $4,500               $4,500
solution
company holds portfolio in pound. so to get hedge, they will sell that of the same amount.
we get here average value of the portfolio that is 
The average value of the portfolio = £ (0.25*1800 + 0.5*2250 + 0.25*2812.5) 
The average value of the portfolio = 2278.13
so correct option is C) Sell £2,278.13 forward at the 1-year forward rate, F1($/£), that prevails at time zero. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
a. When a woman with children and very low income earns an extra dollar, she receives less in TANF benefits. This feature of TANF will cause the labor supply of low-income women to be <u>LOWE</u>R. One of the most important characteristics of TANF is that as the beneficiary starts to earn money, they start losing benefits. The more money they earn, the less benefits they receive. 
b. The EITC provides greater benefits as low-income workers earn more income (up to a point). 
<u>True</u>
This feature of EITC will decrease the labor supply of low-income workers. <u>b. False</u>
Earned income tax credit (EITC) is a refundable tax credit aimed at low income workers (and low middle income workers) with children. The tax credit received by the beneficiaries of this program depend on their income levels and number of children. E.g. during 2020, the EITC for joint filers earning up to $52,493 and having 2 children is $5,828. This program increases the labor supply of low income workers, it doesn't decrease it. If you do not work, you do not receive EITC.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
a. The total employment compensations for the two employees are the same
Explanation:
Employee compensation refers to payment made to employees by an organization in consideration for the services rendered. 
Employee compensation can be in cash form such as salary and wages, perquisites, allowances, incentives, commission, etc. 
In the given case, 
<u>Compensation for Employee A</u>: 
= Gross Pay + Employee benefits - Job expenses 
= $57200 + 5300 - 800 
=  $ 61,700    
Similarly, 
Compensation for Employee B:
= Gross Pay + Employee benefits - Job expenses 
= $56,900 + $6200 - $ 1400
= $61,700
Thus, employment compensation for both A and B are the same.
