Answer:

The future price of Silver is $26.14

Explanation:

First we compute Total storage costs(Tsc) in the future given by the equation:

T<em>sc</em> = (S<em>c</em>/4) * [  1 + exp(-rT<em>1</em>) + exp(-rT<em>2</em>) ]

where Sc is the storage cost today

where r is the rate

S<em>c</em> = $0.24

T<em>1</em> = 3/12

T<em>2</em> = 6/12

r = 5%=5/100

 = 0.05

Tsc = (0.24/4) [ 1 + exp(0.05*3/12) + exp(0.05*6/12) ]

Tsc = 0.06 [ 1 + exp(-0.05×0.25) + exp(-0.05×0.5) ]

Tsc = 0.178

The future price( Fv) is given by:

Fv = (Sp+ Tsc) *exp(rt)

where Sp is the spot price of silver

where r is the interest rate

where t is the delivery time ratio (9 months compared to 12 months)

Sp = $25

r = 5%

 = 5/100=0.05

t = 9/12

   =0.75

Fv = (25. 000+0. 178) * e xp(0. 05×0 .75 )

Fv = $26. 14

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

a)

P 175

Q = 250

Profit6,250

b)

P 325

Q = 875

Profit 153,125

c)

Q = 1200

P = 260

Profit = 287,000

Explanation:

It maximize profit at MR = MC

MR = 200 - 0.2Q

MC = 150

150 = 200-0.2Q

Q = 50/0.2 = Q = 250

Price:

250 = 2000 - 10P

P = 1750/10 = 175

<u></u>

<u>Profit: revenue - cost</u>

$175 x 250 session - $150 per session = 6,250

<em>At new functions:</em>

150 = 500-0.4Q

Q = 350 / 0.4 = 875

Price:

875 = 2,500 - 5P

P = (2500-875)/5= 325

<u>Profit</u>

(325 - 150) * 875 = 153,125

<u>If cost changes:</u>

cost: 1000 + 20Q

marginal cost: 20

20 = 500 - 0.4Q

Q = 480 / 0.4 = 1,200

Price:

1,200 = 2500 - 5P

P = 1300/5 = 260

<u>Profit</u>

(260 - 20)Q - 1,000 = 287,000

Artyom0805 [142]

Please see computation of the company's overall net profit

= South sales - South variable costs - South traceable fixed costs - South allocated common corporate cost - North allocated common corporate cost

= $100,000 profit.

N.B

Since the North division has been eliminated, all the items for North division would all be ignored except its allocated common corporate cost.
