Answer:
0.9; 100 million; 90 million; 2,143
Explanation:
The new fuel's price change has a standard deviation that is 50% greater than price changes in gasoline futures prices.
So, if standard deviation of future prices is taken as '1' then for spot price it will be 50% higher, i.e 1.5
The hedge ratio:
= Correlation × (standard deviation of spot price ÷ Standard deviation of future prices)
= 0.6 × (1.5 ÷ 1)
= 0.9
The company has an exposure of 100 million gallons of the new fuel.
Gallons in future gasoline:
= Hedge ratio × 100 million gallons of the new fuel
= 0.9 × 100
= 90 million
Each contract is on 42,000 gallons, then
Number of gasoline futures contracts should be traded:
= 90,000,000 ÷ 42,000
= 2,142.9 or 2,143
In a condition where MPC is 0.5, a simultaneous increase in both taxes and government spending of $20 will increase GDP by $20. Therefore, the option C holds true.
<h3>What is the significance of GDP?</h3>

Answer:
The product 2005WSC should be reported at $26 per unit.
Explanation:
The lower-of-cost-or-market (LCM) method is a method of recording the inventory of a company which requires that the inventory cost of the company must recorded at whichever is lower between the inventory's original cost or current market price.
Applying lower-of-cost-or-market, the amount per unit at whcih product 2005WSC should be reported can be determined as follows:
Net realizable value (NRV) = Selling price per unit - Cost of disposal per unit = $30 - $3 = $27
Replacement cost (RC) = $26
NRV - Profit Margin = $27 - ($30 * 40%) = $15
Cost per unit = $27
Note that the market is the middle value of Net realizable value (NRV), $27; Replacement cost (RC), $26; and "NRV - Profit Margin", $15. Since the Replacement cost (RC) of $26 is the middle value, that the market value.
Since the market value of $26 per unit is lower than Cost per unit of $27, by applying lower-of-cost-or-market, the product 2005WSC should be reported at $26 per unit.
