Answer:
See Below
Explanation:
Expected value is the sum of the products of the probability and payoff of each.
<u>Wager 1:</u>
probability of heads and tails, both is 0.5
Win = 440
Loose = 110
So,
Expected Value = 440(0.5) + (-110)(0.5) = 220 - 55 = $165
<u>Wager 2:</u>
Similar to wager 1
Win = 770
Loose = 220
So,
Expected value = 770(0.5) + (-220)(0.5) = 385 - 110 = $275
2nd wager is better, in this sense.

Answer: -$100
Explanation:
Value of forward contract = Selling price - Forward price on bond
Forward price = Present value of cashflows + Present value of bond
Periodic rate = 7%/ 2 = 3.5% per semi annum
= 8% / 2 = 4%
3.5% will be used to discount the payment 6 months from now as that is the 6 month rate. The rest will be 4%.
= (80 / (1 + 3.5%) ) + ( 80 / ( 1 + 4%)²) + (940 / ( 1 +4%)²)
= $1,020.342
= $1,020
Value of forward contract = 920 - 1,020
= -$100
Answer:
A
Explanation:
By definition, open-market operations change the monetary base.
In this exercise, the Fed engages in open-market purchases, which means that the Fed expands the amount of money in the banking system. Therefore the monetary base will increase by an amount equal to the amount of open-market purchases.
So monetary base will increase by $3 billion.
Answer:
5 tons of salt for 1 ton of pepper
10 tons of salt for 1 ton of pepper
Explanation:
Alphaland's opportunity cost of producing one ton of pepper = 80 ÷ 5
= 16 tons of salt
Betaton's opportunity cost of producing one ton of pepper = 3 ÷ 1
= 3 tons of salt
Alphaland's opportunity cost of producing one ton of salt = 5 ÷ 80
= 0.0625 tons of pepper
Betaton's opportunity cost of producing one ton of salt = 1 ÷ 3
= 0.3333 tons of pepper
Therefore, Betaton has a comparative advantage in producing pepper because it has the lower opportunity cost of producing pepper as compared to Alphaland. On the other hand, Alphaland has a comparative advantage in producing salt because it has the lower opportunity cost of producing salt as compared to Betaton.
Hence, Betaton is specialized in the production of pepper and Alphaland is specialized in the production of salt.
Trade is beneficial for both the nations when Alphaland buys pepper at a price lower than the 16 tons of salt and Betaton sells pepper at a price greater than 3 tons of salt.
Trade ratios:
5 tons of salt for 1 ton of pepper
10 tons of salt for 1 ton of pepper
