Answer:

C) buy 100 SPX 2500 Puts

Explanation:

SPX stock is based on the Standard and Poor's stock index, so if the investor is worried about a market decline, if he purchases put options and the marker declines, he/she will actually earn money. Each SPX 2500 contract covers approximately $250,000 of portfolio value, so if the investor purchases 10 put options then the whole portfolio would be covered.

The demand for good X is estimated to be Qxd = 10,000 − 4PX + 5PY + 2M +
AX where PX is the price of X, PY is the price of good
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

  • Given the equation ; Qxd = 10,000 − 4PX + 5PY + 2M + AX
  • where PX is the price of X = $50
  • PY is the price of good Y = $100
  • M is income = $25,000
  • and AX is the amount of advertising on X = 1,000 units

a) Calculate the quantity demanded of good X ; Plugging all the values into the equation ;

= 10,000 − 4(50) + 5(100) + 2(25,000) + 1000

Qxd = 61,300units

b) Calculate the own price elasticity of demand for good ;

= d(Qxd)/dpx X px/Qxd = -4 x 50/61,300

= 0.0033. hence he demand for goods is inelastic

c) l will surely recommend lowering the price as this is evident from the value of the price elasticity of demand which is negative as such an increase in the price of their goods will give rise to total loss

d ) cross-price elasticity between goods X and Y = %change in quantity/ %change in price

e) Calculate the income elasticity of good X. Is good X normal or an inferior good? = dQ/dM X M/Q = 2(25000) /61300

= 0.82.

Yes! Good X is a normal goods since the value of the income elasticity is positive.
