Answer:

$10 profit

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the profit or loss to a short position.

Firstly, we identify that the spot price of market index is $900.

Now, a three months forward contract equals a value of $930.

Raising the index to $920 at the expiry date is obviously a profit to the short position.

To calculate the profit here, we simply subtract the index at expiry date from the three months forward contract.

Mathematically, this is equal to $930-$920 = $10 profit

Debit Bad debts expense $9,600

Credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $9,600

The company estimates uncollectible accounts to be $12,000

Bad debts expense = $12,000 - $2,400 = $9,600

The adjustment to record Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts:

Debit Bad debts expense $9,600

Credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $9,600

Suppose that demand for a product is Q = 1200 − 4P and supply is Q = −240 + 2P. Furthermore, suppose that the marginal external
eimsori [14]

Answer: 16 units more than social optimum.

DWL = dead weight loss = (1/2)*(Q* - Q°) 12 =96

Explanation:

Q=1200 - 4P and Q=-240 + 2P

In a free market quantity demand =quantity supplied

1200 -4P = -240 +2P

P =240

Sub P

Q* = 240

Socially optimal quantity is

Marginal social benefit (MSC)= marginal social cost(MSC), including external damage =MEC

MPC= marginal private cost =inverse of supply function

MPC = (1/2)*Q + 120

MEC=12

MSC =(MPC +MEC) = (1/2)Q +120 +12

MSC= MPB where MPB is marginal private benefit = inverse of demand functn

MPB = 300 -(1/4)Q

(1/2)Q + 132 =300 - (1/4)Q

Q° = 224

Difference btw Q* & Q° = 16 units more than social optimum.

DWL = dead weight loss = (1/2)*(Q* - Q°) 12 =96

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

2.11%

YTM 0.089142162

YTC 0.068070103

Difference: 0.021072059 = 0.0211 = 2.11%

Explanation:

To calculate each rate we must solve for a rate at which the future coupon payment and maturity (or call value) equals the market price:

This is solve for excel and goal seek tool

It could also be solve with a financial calculator

YTC:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

Coupon payment: $ 120

time 5 yeaars

rate 0.068070103 (solved with excel)

120 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0680701028057608)^{-5} }{0.0680701028057608} = PV\\

PV $494.5766

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity: $ 1,050 (call price)

time   5.00

rate  0.068070103

\frac{1050}{(1 + 0.0680701028057608)^{5} } = PV  

PV   755.42

PV c $494.5766

PV m  $755.4235

Total $1,250.0002

YTM:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

Cuopon payment: $ 120

time 15 years

rate 0.089142162 (solved with excel)

120 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0891421622982136)^{-15} }{0.0891421622982136} = PV\\

PV $972.2006

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity $ 1,000.00

time   15 years

rate  0.089142162 (solved with excel)

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0891421622982136)^{15} } = PV  

PV   277.80

PV c $972.2006

PV m  $277.7995

Total $1,250.0001
