Options can also be used for hedging. Consider an investor who in May of a particular year owns 1,000 Microsoft shares. The shar

e price is $28 per share. The investor is concerned about a possible share price decline in the next two months and wants protection.

Answer:

The total cost of hedging is $1,000

Explanation:

The Investor in may owns 1000 Microsoft shares which is currently selling for $28  per shares and he is on the opinion that the price will crash in next two months so need to be protected from the crash

So he should buy put option which gives him right to sell at strike price ($27.5) what ever the price may be . So for buying the right to sell, he need to pay premium the option writer

Given premium per share is 1, We have 1000 shares, so we need hedge for 1000 shares .

Cost of hedging = No of option contracts bought * Premium per option

Cost of hedging = 1000 * $1

Cost of hedging = $1000

Thus, the total cost of hedging is $1,000.

The demand and supply functions for basic cable TV in the local market are given as: Calculate the consumer and producer surplus
lana [24]

Answer: Hello your question is poorly written attached below is the complete question

answer:

a) Cs = 800,000 ,  Ps = 1,500,000

b) Cs = 1437500,  Ps = 525,000

Explanation:

Demand function ( Qd ) = 200,000 - 4000 P

supply function ( Qs ) = 20,000 + 2000 P

at equilibrium :  200,000 - 4000P = 20,000 + 2000P

therefore ; P = 180,000 / 6000 = 30

Q = 20,000 + 2000 ( 30 ) = 80,000

<u>a) Determine consumer and producer surplus in the market</u>

consumer surplus ( Cs ) This is the area above the price and below the demand curve  = 1/2 * ( 50 - 30 ) 80,000 = 800,000

producer surplus ( Ps ) This is the area above supply and below price

= 30 * ( 80,000 ) -  1/2 (80,000 - 20,000 ) (30)

= 1,500,000

<u>b) Determine the new levels of consumer and producer surplus with a price ceiling of $15 </u>

Pc (ceiling price ) = $15

Qd = 200,000 - 4000 ( 15 )  = 140,000

Qs = 20,000 + 2000 ( 15 ) = 50,000

∴ New consumer surplus = area ( a , Pc, b, d )

= ( 30 - 15 ) (50,000) + 1/2(50-30) (80,000) - 1/2 (80,000 - 50,000 ) (37.5 - 30)

   = 1437500

New producer surplus = area ( Pc , b, e 0 )

= ( 15 ) ( 50000) - 1/2 ( 50,000 - 20,000 ) (15)

= 525,000
