Explanation:
If the Boskin Commission's estimate was right and consumer price index overstated inflation by 1.1% every year, this is what we can derive about REAL GDP PER CAPITA and GENERAL LIVING STANDARDS IN THE UNITED STATES:
(A) Real Gross Domestic Product per Capita is the total (gross) production per head or per person (per capita) within (domestic) an economy; after accounting or adjusting for inflation. Before adjusting for inflation, we have the Nominal GDP. So the term "real" shows that the value has accounted for inflation. If inflation is positive in the economy, then Real GDP figure will be less than Nominal GDP figure. I hope you understand this background information.
So if consumer price index is overstating inflation, real GDP per capita will be higher than it is perceived/calculated to be, in those years
(B) The general standard of living (which is affected by consumer price index) would also be higher than perceived or calculated.
Note here that the 'general' standard of living is a measure that sums up living standard 'per capita'.

<u>Explanation:</u>
First, remember that the difference between <em>normative and positive economic analysis</em> is that;
Normative analysis take a somewhat neutral view by stating how the world should be. While
The Positive analysis states the facts. That is, it describes the world as it is.
<u>
Thus, a </u><u>Normative analysis</u><u> of the consequence of minimum wage would be the following statements:</u>
c. In some cities such as San Francisco and New York, it would be impossible for low−skilled workers to live comfortably in the city without minimum wage laws.
d. The gains to winners of a minimum wage law should be valued more highly than the losses to losers because the latter primarily comprises businesses.
<u>And a </u><u>Positive analysis</u><u> of the consequence of minimum wage would be the following statements:</u>
a. The minimum wage law causes unemployment.
b. A minimum wage law benefits some groups and hurts others.

Explanation:
Definition of simple terminologies ;
- A contractual agreement is an agreement which is made on future exchanges in order to buy or sell goods at a fixed price at a specified time period.
- LIBOR stands for London interbank offered rate which is the rate at which banks borrow money from other banks in london market. this rate is a fixed term by the british bankers association.
a) The implied LIBOR of the September Eurodollar futures of 96.4 is = 100 96.4 /400-=0.9%
(b) As we want to borrow money, it implies buying protection against high interest rates, which means low Eurodollar future prices. We will short the Eurodollar contract.
c) Number of contact to be entered into = One Eurodollar contract which is based on a $1 million 3-month deposit. As such, entering into hedge a loan of $50M, will automatically implies entering into 50 short contracts.
d) A true 3-month LIBOR of 1% means an annualized position (annualized by market conventions) of 1% x 4 = 4%. Therefore, our 50 short contracts will pay: [96.4 − (100 − 4) × 100 × $25] × 50 = $50,000.
The increased interest rate has made the loan more expensive as such, the loss to exposure will be compensated hence we have to pay the following amount ; ($50,000,000 x 0.01) - $50,000
= $450,000
