Answer: Most economist believe that prices are flexible in the long run but many are sticky in the short run.

Explanation:

Prices are sticky in the short run because producers and buyers take time to adapt to new situations. If there is a shortage of butter, lets say, the economic theory says that the prices will rise because there is less butter ( ceteris paribus = all the other factors remain constant). Actually, buyers and suppliers need time to adapt to the new situation. However, in the long run buyers and suppliers have time to adapt to new situations so prices become more flexible.

What is the practice of banks and mortgage lenders identifying high-risk areas (usually low-income or minority neighborhoods) an

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

redlining

Explanation:

Redlining is an illegal banking practice that focuses on neighborhoods that are mostly inhabited by minorities. The term redlining itself comes from the practice of marking neighborhoods on city maps with red lines to represent them as dangerous both for banking purposes and high crime rates.

Banks cannot directly deny a credit based on where you live, but they can charge very high interest rates that make them very difficult to pay, or simply ask for a lot of paperwork and more requirements than usual.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

7.36%

Explanation:

Nper = (10-2)*2 = 16

Pmt = 1000*8.7%/2 = 43.5

Pv = -108%*1000 = -1080

Fv = 1000

YTM = Rate(Nper, pmt, -Pv, Fv)*2

YTM = Rate(16, 43.5, -1080, 1000)*2

YTM = 0.036795696 * 2

YTM = 0.073591392

YTM = 7.3591392%

YTM = 7.36%

Answer:

$24,530, $23,530

Explanation:

Incomplete word "and if the spot price in September proves to be $2,300."

Note that Call options will be exercised only if the price on expiry is greater than strike price

Strike price = $2400

Premium paid = $53 for each contract, so the total premium paid = $530 for 10 contracts

CASE 1

Price = $2600

As price on expiry=2600 > Strike price=2400

Call option will be exercised.

Company will pay = $2400 * 10+530 = $24,530

CASE 2

Price = $2300

As price on expiry=2300 < Strike price=2400

Call option will not be exercised and will purchase from open market

Company will pay = $2300 * 10+530 = $23,530
