Answer:Yes it should be reported.

$2.8 million should be reported in the the balance sheet as a liability.

Explanation: Contingent liabilities are liabilities that depend on the outcome of an event that may likely not occur.

Before they can be reported in financial statement, it must be able to estimate the value of such contingent liability and the liability must have a higher than 50% possiblity of being achieved.

If the value can be estimated, then the liability has a higher chance of being realised.

Qualifying contingent liabilities such as the $2.8 million estimated by Top Sound International should be recorded in the income statement as an expense and a liability on the balance sheet.

Therefore the $2.8 million liability should be reported in its 2018 balance sheet

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

a) 152

b) <em>$15,310,562.50</em>

Explanation:

<u>A) What position in futures contracts on the S & P 500 is it necessary to hedge the portfolio</u>

The position is to short

The number to be shorted  can be calculated using the formula below:

= ( β *  value of portfolio) / (one futures contract size * number of times the value of the contract price)

where ; value of portfolio = $15 million , Beta = 1.25 , one future contract size = $24750,  number of times = 5

= (  1.25 * 15,000,000)   / ( 24,750 * 5)  = 151.5 ≈ 152 contracts

<u>b) What is our portfolio value of your portfolio with the hedge from part a</u>

Given that 6 months has passed

Dow Jones now valued at $24720

Future price now $25,100  

first step : calculate loss from position in part a

= 152 * 5 * ( 24,750 - 25,100 ) = - $266,000

next : calculate Gain on index

=  24,720 - 24,000 / 24,000 = 0.03 = 3.00%

Total gain = Gain on index +  annual dividend / 2

                 = 3% + 0.75 / 2 = 3.375%

where risk free rate ( 6 months ) = gain on index / 2 = 1.5%

Calculate Return with the use of CAPM

= 1.5% + 1.25* ( 3.375% - 1.5% ) = 3.8438%

Hence value of portfolio after 6 months will be calculated as

= Current portfolio value * ( 1 + return )

= 15,576,562.50

Therefore the

Net value = portfolio value - loss from futures position

=<em>$15,310,562.50</em>

What is the practice of banks and mortgage lenders identifying high-risk areas (usually low-income or minority neighborhoods) an
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

redlining

Explanation:

Redlining is an illegal banking practice that focuses on neighborhoods that are mostly inhabited by minorities. The term redlining itself comes from the practice of marking neighborhoods on city maps with red lines to represent them as dangerous both for banking purposes and high crime rates.

Banks cannot directly deny a credit based on where you live, but they can charge very high interest rates that make them very difficult to pay, or simply ask for a lot of paperwork and more requirements than usual.

Rina8888 [55]
<span>Breached. Explanation: A contract is a legally binding agreement between two parties. Once an agreement is signed between two parties, both parties are subject to terms and conditions written in the agreement. As in the above example, Flora agrees to sell harvesters grocery a minimum quantity of fresh fruits and vegetables every week for three months, that means Flora is subject to the agreement that she will sell that no matter what the future market price will be, whether it increases or decreases. As Flora decides not to deliver the agreed order, it is a violation of terms and conditions of the agreement/contract. So the contract is breached.</span>
