Both of these answers are correct.
Explanation:
Positive externality is when the benefits of economic activities to third parties exceeds its cost.
Activities that generate positive externality are
1. Education
2. Research and development
To encourage activities that have positive externality, government can subsidise such activities. Subsidies makes the activity cheaper and incentivise people to carry out such activities.
Market forces may lead to an underallocation of resources to producing the good. Therefore, the government might intervene in the allocation of the resources to increase efficiency.

Answer:
c. $8.63
Explanation:
Missing word <em>"The forward LIBOR rate is 7%. All rates are compounded semiannually. A. $8.88
, B. $9.12
, C. $8.63
, D. $9.02"</em>
Principal = $1000, FRA Rate = 9 % per annum, LIBOR after 2 years = 7 % per annum, Compounding Frequency: Semi-Annual, Risk-Free Rate = 6 % per annum
The FRA matures 2 years or 24 months from now. Further, the Interest Rate that the FRA hedges will create an interest expense only at the end of the LIBOR loan period which is an additional 6 months after the 24 month period.
Hence, Exchange of Interest Expense at the end of 30 Months = (FRA Rate - LIBOR) x Principal (calculated on a semi-annual basis)
= (0.045 - 0.035) * 1000
= $10
Current Value of FRA = Present Value of Interest Expense at the end of the 30 Months Period
= 10 / [1+(0.06/2)]^(30/6)
= $8.6261
= $8.63
The commission for purchasing five round lots of a stock selling for $130 is $65.
<h3>What is round lots of a stock?</h3>
A specified quantity of securities to be traded on an exchange is known as a round lot. In the stock market, a round lot is defined as 100 shares or a bigger number that may be divided in half equally.
1 round lots = 100 shares
5 round lots = 500 shares
The commission structure on a stock purchase is $45 plus $0.04 per share.
For 500 shares, the commission is
= 45 + 0.04×500
= 65
Therefore, the commission for purchasing 500 shares of stock selling for $130 is $65.

Answer:
Chris paid $109.68 for his bond. Since he paid a premium for the bond, the YTM is lower than the coupon rate.
Explanation:
yield of Cheryl's bond is 6% since she purchased it at par and the bond's coupon is 6%
if Chris's bond yields 80% of Cheryl's, it will yield 6% x 0.8 = 4.8%
we can use the approximate yield to maturity formula to find the market price of Chris's bond:
2.4%(semiannual) = {3 + [(100 - MV)/20]} / [(100 + MV)/2]
0.024 x [(100 + MV)/2] = 3 + [(100 - MV)/20]
0.024 x (50 + 0.5MV) = 3 + 5 - 0.05MV
1.2 + 0.012MV = 8 - 0.05MV
0.062MV = 6.8
MV = 6.8 / 0.062 = 109.68
