Answer:

$930.89

Explanation:

The Notional value of position = Price of S&P-500 index future x Contract multiplier x no. of contracts

= 950x250x10

=$2,375,000

Margin = Total nominal value of position x Initial margin

=2375,000x10%

=$237,500

b) Maintenance margin = Initial margin x Maintenance margin

=237500 x 80%

=$190,000

Margin call will be receive when value of the Initial margin falls below maintenance margin

Thus 237500e^0.06/52 + (St -950) x250 x10 <190,000

From here St = price at which margin call will be made

=237500e^0.0011538 + (St -950) x 2500 <190,000

=237500(1.0011538) + (St -950) x 2500 <190,000

=237774.04 + (2500St - 2375000) < 190,000

=2500St - 2137226 <190,000

= 2500St <2327226

St < 930.89

Thus price below $930.89 will be called maintenance margin.

Which of the following are assumptions of the simple CAPM model? I. Individual trades of investors do not affect a stock's price
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

I, II, and III are all correct and part of this model

Explanation:

The CAPM model or Capital Asset Pricing Model indicates the relationship between the amount of risk and the expected profit for a certain investment. This model holds many assumptions, which from the ones provided we can say that assumptions I, II, and III are all correct and part of this model. The only assumption that is not correct is IV, since the level of risk aversion that each investor has depends on how much they know about their investment.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Suppose that the Dallas School District wants to achieve Six Sigma quality levels of performance in delivering students to schoo
Kay [80]

Answer:

a) 1.66 minutes

b) 3.4 out of million deliveries

Explanation:

So, it is a six sigma quality question, we first need to understand little bit about six sigma and how it is to achieve six sigma level.

<u>Six Sigma:</u>

It is the process or technique used by many organizations through out the world to achieve maximum quality in a product or in a service they are providing. It helps to indicate root causes of the process or you can say waste steps which first need to be identified then rectified to bring that top-notch quality in the system. So in this case, in order to calculate part a) we will calculate six sigma control limits.

a) So, for six sigma control limits, the maximum allowable standard deviation is 12 or you can say +6 + (-6) = ±6 = 12. It means all deviations must lie in all 12 standard deviations.

<em>Please refer to the table shown in the attachment.</em> This bell curve represent six sigma concept. In this <em>3 sigma quality level means all deviations must lie in 6 standard deviations.</em>

So, here we have been given that mean = 20, so with mean we can calculate standard deviation in six sigma control limits.

Maximum Allowable Standard Deviation for 6 sigma = Mean/12

                                                                                        = 20/12

                                                                                       = 1.66

So, 1.66 is the maximum allowable standard deviation of arrival times required in order to achieve 6 sigma quality level.

b) In this part, we are asked that, out of million deliveries about how many times bus deliver students too early or too late at this 6 sigma quality level.

<em>For this answer, please refer to attachment again</em>. and notice at the left bottom with the arrow of 6 sigma, we have a number 3.4 ppm means 3.4 part per million.

<em>So, it 3.4 times in a million deliveries bus will deliver students either too early or too late. </em>
