Answer: 16 S&P 500 futures contracts
Explanation:
The number of contracts can be calculated by:
= (1 * beta) × Stock value/(Contract size * Index level)
= 1.35 × 12,000,000 / ( 250 * 3,983)
= 1.35 × 12,000,000 / 995,750
= 16 S&P 500 futures contracts
Answer: The answer is $27.25
Explanation:
Let x be the price Sweet dreams will charge to earn the profit of $75,000
New sales units = 20,000
New variable cost = $19
We know, Sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost = Profit
Now applying the equation,
20,000x - (20,000*19) - 90,000 = $75000
20,000x = $75,000 + 380,000 + 90,000
therefore, x = $27.25
So, Sweet Dreams will charge $27.25 to earn the same profit it is earning now i.e. $75000 per year.

Answer:
(D) He should include a timeframe.
Explanation:
A concrete mapping of his goal in a timeframe is all Mohammed needs to make his goal SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely).
Since Mohammed is someone who has a strong educational and professional background regarding his goal, then the goal automatically becomes realistic and achievable. On the other hand, it is also specific, since he clearly states his desired position (he emphasizes the job of marketing department manager instead of simply stating he wants a promotion).
Since his goal is a discrete (not continuous) event, the Measurable characteristic is somewhat irrelevant.
All that is left for him to do is to state by which point in time he wants to achieve that goal (e.g. in five years' time).
The FDIC stands for Federal Deposit Insurance Company.
By raising the limit on insured losses the FDIC helps stabilize the system by instilling confidence.
If the consumer knows that their savings accounts are protected up to $250,000 they will be encouraged to spend money during a time of crisis.
Because of the increased limit, there is less probability that there would be something called
"a run on the bank."
