Answer:

  • B. The former program trustee argues that the current inflation measure overcompensates seniors since it ignores the substitution effect.
  • C. According to advocates for seniors, the 2020 COLA is not enough to compensate for rising healthcare costs.
  • D. Elizabeth Warren has proposed using a new inflation measure that outpaces the current one used.

Explanation:

The article is, ''<em>Social Security checks to rise modestly amid push to expand benefits '' </em>by<em> Associated Press. </em>

Blahous is a former program trustee who believes that the current inflation adjustment rate at which Social security is increasing is overcompensating seniors because it does not take into account that seniors could be switching to buying cheaper products which is the Substitution effect.  

Advocates and the seniors themselves have complained that the 2020 COLA is not enough to meet their current needs especially given the rising cost of healthcare.

Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders both proposed using a new measure for inflation that will adequately compensate the seniors because it outpaces the current one used.

If mega corp. borrows $9,000 and agrees to pay the lender $10,500 in one year, the annual interest rate on this loan is approxim
kap26 [50]
In simple interest, the interest rate is
i=(10500-9000)/9000=16.67%

In compound interest, compounded monthly,
10500=9000(1+i/12)^12
=>
APR=12(10500/9000)^(1/12)-1
=11.155%
(effective interest is still 16.67%)

A manufacturing operation consists of 10 operations. However, five machining operations must be completed before any of the rema
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The answer is: 14,400 different production sequences are possible

Explanation:

For this calculation I will assume that the first 5 operations can be made in any order, as well as the last 5.

For the first set of machining operations, since they can go in any order, you choose one operation and then you have 4 operations left, then you choose another operation and you have 3 operations left, then you choose another operation and you have 2 operations left, you choose another option and you have only 1 operation left.  This process can be expressed by the following equation: 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120 possible different combinations. Mathematically it can also be expressed as 5! = 120

The same for the last 5 assembly operations, you have 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120 possible different combinations.

So to get the total possible combinations of all the process, we just multiply 120 x 120 = 14,000 or 5! x 5! = 14,400

You are attempting to value a call option with an exercise price of $100 and one year to expiration. The underlying stock pays n
natka813 [3]

Answer:

$18.18

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the call option's value using the two-state stock price model

Based on the information given since the two possible stock prices are: S+ = $130 Increase and and S- = $70 decrease which means that If the exercise price is the amount of $100 the first step will be to determine the corresponding two possible call values.

First step is to determine the corresponding two possible call values.

Hence, the corresponding two possible call values are:

Cu = ($130-$100) and Cd = $0

Cu = $30 and Cd = $0

Second step is to Calculate the hedge ratio using this formula

Hedge ratio= (Cu - Cd)/(uS0 - dS0)

Hedge ratio= (30- 0)/(130 - 70)

Hedge ratio=30/60

Hedge ratio= 0.50

Third step is form the cost of the riskless portfolio and end-of-year value

Cost of the riskless portfolio = (S0 - 2C0)

Cost of the riskless portfolio = 100 - 2C0

End-of-year value =$70

Fourth step is to calculate the present value of $70 with a one-year interest rate of 10%:

Present value=$70/1.10

Present value= $63.64

Now let estimate the call option's value by first Setting the value of the hedged position to equal to the present value

Call option's value=$100 - 2C0 = $63.64

Hence,

C0=$100-$63.64/2

C0=$36.36/2

C0=$18.18

Therefore the call option's value using the two-state stock price model will be $18.18
