Answer:

The options are given below:

A. 50%

B. 60%

C. 70%

D. 80%

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

From the question above, we are asked to calculate Oliver's gross profit percentage.

  • Gross profit percentage is calculated by dividing the gross profit made from the sale by the contract price.
  • Gross profit is calculated by subtracting the installment sale basis from the selling price.
  • Contract price refers to the total of all the principal payments that are to be received on the installment sale.

Oliver's adjusted basis at the time of sale is:

$30,000 ($5,000 + .50 ($50,000))

His gross profit percentage is:

70% [($100,000 - $30,000) ÷ $100,000].

Suppose that a stock gave a realized return of 20% over a two-year time period and a 10%
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Option (D) 16.57%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Realized gain

r₁ = 20%

r₂ = 20%

r₃ = 10%

Now,

Geometric average = [(1+r_1)\times(1+r_2)\times...\times(1+r_n)]^{\frac{1}{n}} - 1

here,

n = 3

therefore,

Geometric average = [(1+0.20)\times(1+0.20)\times(1+0.10)]^{\frac{1}{3}} - 1

or

Geometric average = [1.584]^{\frac{1}{3}} - 1

or

Geometric average = 1.1657 - 1

or

Geometric average = 0.1657

= 0.1657 × 100%

= 16.57%

Marianna [84]

Bea Moran wants to establish a long derivatives position in a commodity she will need to acquire in six months. Moran observes that the six-month forward price is 45.20 and the six-month futures price is 45.10. This difference most likely suggests that for this commodity: futures prices are negatively correlated with interest rates.

This is further explained below.

<h3>What are interest rates?</h3>

Generally, the fraction of a loan that is charged as interest to the borrower is often stated as a yearly percentage of the loan outstanding.

"lower interest rates encourage people to spend money on house upgrades"

In conclusion, Bea Moran would want to construct a long derivatives position in a commodity that she will need to buy in a little over half a year's time. Moran notes that the price of the six-month forward contract is now at 45.20, while the price of the six-month futures contract is currently at 45.10. Because of this disparity, it is quite probable that the prices of futures contracts for this commodity have an inverse relationship with interest rates.

Identify whether each of the following statements best illustrates the concept of consumer surplus, producer surplus, or neither
sertanlavr [38]

Answer: Statement 1 ( Laptop) = Producer surplus

              Statement 2 ( watch ) = Neither

              Statement 3 ( jersey sweater) = Consumer surplus

Explanation:

Hi, Consumer surplus happens when the price that consumers pay for a product or service is less than the price they're willing to pay.

  • <em>Even though I was willing to pay up to $46 for a jersey sweater, I bought a jersey sweater for only $39.  </em>Consumer surplus

Producer surplus<em>  </em> is measured as the difference between what producers are willing and able to supply a good for and the price they actually receive

  • <em> I sold a used laptop for $149, even though I was willing to go as low as $140 .</em>Producer surplus
  • <em>I sold a watch for $59 on eBay last week. This week, someone offered me $145 for it.  </em>neither

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

$24.38

Explanation:

The computation of the one share of worth is shown below:

= Eight-year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)

where,  

Next year dividend for eight-year s would be

= Annual dividend × (1 + growth rate)^number of years

= $1.18 × (1 + 3.25%)^8

= $1.18 × 1.291577535

= $1.524061492

The other items rate would remain the same

Now placing these values to the formula above

So, the price would equal to

= $1.524061492  ÷ (9.5% - 3.25%)

= $24.38
