Answer:

$1,875; $1,787.50; $2,837.50

$562.50

Explanation:

Initial balance in account = $1700 and 125,000 EUR is the contractual size of one EUR at a price of $1.3140

Day 1 : $1.3126

Closing price = (1.3140-1.3126)(125,000)

                     = $175;

Current balance = 1700 + 175

                            = $1,875

Day 2 : $1.3133

Closing price. = (1.3126 - 1.3133)(125,000)

                      = $87.50.

Current balance = 1875 - 87.50

                           = $1787.50 (Deduct in balance due to loss)

Day 3 : $1.3049

Closing price = (1.3133 - 1.3049)(125,000)

                      = $1050.

Current balance = 1787.50 + 1050

                           = $2837.50

Long position in future contract:

= 1700 + (1.3126 - 1.3140) + (1.3133 - 1.3126) + (1.3049 - 1.3133) × EUR 125,000

= $562.50

When a principal is partially disclosed Group of answer choices the agent and principal will be jointly and severally liable on
vlabodo [156]

The correct answer is the agent and principal will be jointly and severally liable on the contract.

In general, an agent is not accountable for contracts made; the principal is. However, the agent will be held culpable if he is not or only partially revealed, if the agent lacks or exceeds authorization, or if the agent entered into the transaction in a personal role.

When an agent works on behalf of the principle in interactions with a third party, a contractual relationship is formed between the main and the third party, and the agent is not personally accountable.

Therefore, the correct option is the agent and principal will be jointly and severally liable on the contract.
