Answer:
sell 1.714
Explanation:
The computation of the number of contract buy or sold to hedge the position is shown below:
As we know that
Number of contracts = Hedge Ratio
Hedge Ratio = Change in Portfolio Value ÷ Profit on one future contract
where,
Change in the value of the portfolio is
For that we need to do following calculations
Expected Drop in Index is
= (1200 - 1400) ÷ 1400
= -14.29%
And, Expected Loss on the portfolio is
= Beta × Expected index drop
= 0.60 × (-14.29%)
= -8.57%
So, the change is
= 1000000 × (-8.57%)
= -$85,700
And, the profit is
= 200 × 250 multiplier
= 50,000
So, the hedging position is
= -$85,700 ÷ 50,000
= -1.714
This reflects the selling position
Answer:
The correct answer is: black market for apartments whereby higher rents are obtained through various other charges.

A price ceiling refers to an upper limit fixed for the price of a product or service. A rent ceiling means that rent cannot be charged higher than this limit.

Because of shortage of apartments in the market, a black market will be created where the apartment owners will be able to charge higher rents through other charges.

The perfect tender rule has certain exceptions where it cannot be applied to the tender parties and the probates of the tender.
If there is a government ruling against the use of certain products that are necessary for the tender to be completed and the outlaw happens after the tender is signed but before it is completed as a consignment then it cannot be done.
This would come under the ambit of an emergency where the governed ruling makes such deals null and void.
