Answer:

C) $3.00

Explanation:

since Fred has been able to maximize his utility by consuming both pizza and beer, the marginal utility per dollar of pizza and beer must be equal.

The price of a bottle of beer is $1.50 and Fred obtains 4 utils from consuming it. If the marginal utility of pizza is 8 units, it is equivalent to 2 beers. So the price of pizza must equal $1.50 x 2 = $3

Answer:

C) $3.00

Explanation:

Utility Maximization can be mathematically illustrated as Marginal Utility of product X ÷ price of product X = Marginal Utility of product Y ÷ price of product Y. Utility maximization involves maximizing utility according to one's income. Here, the products are beer and pizza. The marginal utility of pizza is 8 and its price is unknown which we will assume as "a" while the marginal utility of beer is 4 and its price is $1.50. Using our formula, we replaced the words with figures hence, 4 ÷ $1.50 = 8 ÷ a. We crossmultiply the figures are left with 4a = $12.00. A is then, $1.200 ÷ 4 = $3.00. Therefore, the price of pizza is $3.00

The price of a stock on February 1 is $84. A trader buys 200 put options on the stock with a strike price of $90 when the option
Andrews [41]

Answer:

The net loss of the trader amounts to $1,000, which means the correct option is A

Explanation:

The payoff is computed as:

Payoff = Strike price - Option's Stock price

where

Strike price is $90

Option's Stock Price is $85

Putting the values above:

Payoff = $90 - $85

= $5 per option

The trader bought 200 options, so the payoff would be:

Payoff = Options × Price per option

= 200 × $5

= $1,000

And the option cost would be:

Option cost = Options × Option Price

= 200 × $10

= $2,000

So, there computing net loss or gain as:

Net loss or gain = Payoff - Option cost

= $1,000 - $2,000

= $1,000 ( net loss)

Therefore, the correct option is A

= ($1,010,000 + $10,000) - $1,000,000

= $1,020,000 - $1,000,000

= $20,000
