Answer: The yen is selling at a per annum "DISCOUNT of -6.30%"

Explanation: This is a per annum discount, because the amount of dollar used in buying the yen has reduced, which made the $1 to be able to buy 127yen instead of 125yen.

To find the forward discount;

[(1 ÷ forward rate) - (1 ÷ spot rate) / (1 ÷ spot rate)] × (360 ÷ 90)

Spot rate = 125

Forward rate = 127

Therefore forward discount is

[(1÷127) - (1÷125) / (1÷125)] × (360÷90)

(-0.000126 / 0.008) × 4 = -0.063

Therefore forward discount = -6.30%

The negative sign means that it is a percentage discount

Answer:

1. Discount

2. 6.30%

Explanation:

1. Forward discount means that more units of a currency is needed to a unit of another currency in the future. In the question, 2 (127 - 125  = 2) more units of yen will be needed in the future to buy the same one unit of the US dollar.

2. To calculate the percentage of the forward discount, we use the forward discount formula as follows:

Forward discount = {[(1 ÷ Forward rate) - (1 ÷ Spot rate)] ÷ [1 ÷ Spot rate]} x {360 ÷ 90)}

Forward discount = {[(1 ÷ 127) - (1 ÷ 125)] ÷ [1 ÷ 125]} × {360 ÷ 90}

                              = {[0.007874016  - 0.008 ] ÷ [0.008]} × 4

                              = {-0.000125984  ÷ 0.008} × 4

                              = -0.015748 × 4

                              = -0.062992  = - 6.30% approximately.

Therefore, the negative sign shows that the yen is selling at a per annum​ discount of​ 6.30%. This indicates yen worth less in the future against the US dollar.

KiRa [710]

Answer:

C) There was no price control on gasoline at the time.

Explanation:

During the 1970s the US government established a price ceiling on gasoline, but as all price ceilings set below the equilibrium price, it results in both a deadweight loss and a supply shortage.

Since the price is "too cheap", then the quantity demanded will be more than the quantity supplied. Rising costs in gasoline production made things worst, since suppliers were constantly reducing their supply of gasoline, while consumer demand was constantly increasing.
