option 2)  smaller

As CE is the amount which if the agent gets with certainty, then agent will be indifferent between playing lottery or getting that amount with certainty

So L2 is more risky, & agent is risk averse, so agent will be ready to accept a lower amount with certainty ( as compared to the amount for a safer option : L1)

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

$1,356.44

Explanation:

Computation for the value of one futures contract on the index

Using this formula

Futures contract =(Stock index value/(1+Risk-free rate)-Anticipated dividend

Let plug in the formula

Futures contract=$1,500/(1+0.0575) - $62

Futures contract=$1,500/(1.0575) - $62

Futures contract=$1,418.44 - $62

Futures contract=$1,356.44.

Therefore the value of one futures contract on the index will be $1,356.44.

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

$12,280,000.

Explanation:

All the direct costs involved in the manufacturing of a product except fixed cost is called prime cost e.g direct material, direct labor etc.

Direct Material = $4,200,000

Direct labor = $8,080,000

Total Prime cost = Direct material + Direct labor = $4,200,000 + $8,080,000 = $12,280,000

Overhead costs are not classified as the prime cost because these are indirect costs.
