Answer:

200

Explanation:

Base on the scenario been described in the question, the position required if the portfolio has a beta 1 is been calculated as follows .

number of contracts required is

Number of contract =10,000,000/(500×100)

Number of contract =10,000,000/50,000

Number of contract =200.

A long put position is needed because the contracts must provide a positive payoff when the market reduces.

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

$6,000

Explanation:

A deductible is the amount Conor has to pay before his medical bills and prescriptions start getting coverage from his insurance.

Step 1: 10,000 - 2,000 = 8,000

A co-pay is a fixed amount the insured has to pay for certain medical services.

Step 2: 20% of 8,000 or 0.20 times 8,000 = 1,600

Step 3: add $2,000 (the deductible you have to pay) and $1,600 (the co-pay)

Total amount that Conor will have to pay for the hospital: $3,600

Serjik [45]

Answer:

$1,200,000

Explanation:

SOX Corporation purchased a 30% interest for $1,525,000

On November 1, 2021, Hack declared and paid $1,100,000 million in dividends

Hence, Carrying value = $1,525,000 - 30%($1,100,000)

Carrying value = $1,525,000 - $330,000

Carrying value = $1,195,000

Net loss given during the year reported by Hack is $4,000,000

Hence, Net Loss of SOX is $4,000,000 * 30%

Net Loss = $1,200,000

Therefore, the net loss to be recognized in the Income statement is $1,200,000
