Answer:
Given that,
Operator bought a futures contract = 5,000 kilograms of rice at $1.50 per kilogram
Initial margin = $4,000
Maintenance margin = $2,000
(a)
(i) Balance of Margin = Initial margin - maintenance margin
= $4,000 - $2,000
= $2,000 (loss)
(ii) Change in price = 
= $0.40
(b) Price per kilogram = Current price - Change in Price
= $1.50 - $0.40
= $1.10
So, change price per kg is $1.10
(c) Balance of Margin = Initial margin - maintenance margin
= $4,000 + $2,000
= $6,000 (loss)
Change in price =
= $0.40
(d) Price per kg = Current price - change in price
= $1.50 + $0.40
= $1.90
Answer:
$819.98
Explanation:
After making downpayment, the remaining amount is $145,000 - 15000 = $130,000
Using financial calculator:
PV = 130,000
n = 30 years = 360 months
i/r = 6.5%/year = 0.54% / month
FV = 0
PMT = ? (Monthly payment = ?)
--> Monthly payment = $819.98
Answer:
Coupon= $30 per period.
20 period for semi annual coupon payment.
28.148% discount rate
Explanation:
1.) Coupon rate * face value of bond = coupon
semi annual rate =6%/2=3%
Coupon= 1000 *3%= $30 per period.
2.) t= number of periods = years of maturity * coupon payment semi-annual
t= 10 * 2 = 20 periods.
3. Discount rate formula =C+[(F-P)/t] / (F+P/2)
where C=coupon payment annual
F= face value of security
P=price of security= 1000 *8%=80
t= years of maturity.
so we have⇒ 60+[(1000-80)/10]/(1000+80)/2
=152/540
=28.148%
Answer:
The elasticity of supply for hot cocoa is 1.43.
(D) Supply in the market for coffee is less elastic than supply in the market for hot cocoa
Explanation:
Using the midpoint formula,
Elasticity of supply for hot cocoa = (change in quantity supplied/average quantity supplied) ÷ (change in price/average price)
change in quantity supplied = 101 - 31 = 70
average quantity supplied = (101+31)/2 = 66
70/66 = 1.06
change in price = 9.75 - 4.5 = 5.25
average price = (9.75+4.5)/2 = 7.125
5.25/7.125 = 0.74
Elasticity of supply for hot cocoa = 1.06 ÷ 0.74 = 1.43. The supply for hot cocoa is elastic because the elasticity of supply is greater than 1.
Elasticity of supply for coffee = (73 - 31)/(73+31)/2 ÷ 0.74 = 42/52 ÷ 0.74 = 0.81 ÷ 0.74 = 1.09. The supply for coffee is elastic because the elasticity of supply is greater than 1.
However, supply in the market for coffee is less elastic than supply in the market for hot cocoa because the elasticity of supply for coffee is less than that of hot coffee.
