"A customer is long the Swiss Franc at a cost of $.60 per SF. The customer wishes to place a collar on the position using PHLX S

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

To create the collar, the customer would: buy 1 PHLX 59 SF Call and sell 1 PHLX 61 SF Call.

Explanation:

The meaning of a "collar" is that a put is bought at a strike price that is less than the price of the underlying instrument (this implies that a floor has been put on the price of the instrument); and that a call is disposed at a strike price which is higher than the price of the underlying instrument (this indicates that a ceiling above which the instrument will be called away has been created).

When a collar is put on the price, it indicates that the customer is majorly giving a guarantee for the underlying instrument's minimum and maximum price.

This should make the net cost of the collar to be close to zero due to the fact that the two contracts are "out the money" and also because the premium paid to buy the put is offset by the premium received when the call was sold.

Therefore, since customer in the question wishes to place a collar on the position using PHLX SF FLEX options, he would buy 1 PHLX 59 SF Call and sell 1 PHLX 61 SF Call to create the collar.

What causes unemployment post-keynesianism?

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

involuntary employment

Explanation:

The Post-Keynesianism view is that effective demand is the main determinant of economic performance.

Thus, Keynesianism states that in an economy where there is a significant reduction in demand, it will affect the labor market which further leads to lower wages.

For example, an airline that has 100 workers is experiencing a sharp decline in demand (of flight bookings) because of a government lockdown may decide to cut down their staff capacity ad a result. leading to involuntary employment.

dupe's age and olu's add upto 25 years. Eight years ago , dupe was twice as old as olu. how old are they now?

Bas_tet [7]

Dupe's present age = 14 years

Olu's present age = 11 years

Explanation:

Let Dupe's age be x. Let Olu's age be y. Since their ages add up to 25 years, x + y = 25
Eight years ago Dupe's age was double that of Olu's age. Solving by simultaneous equations. Four methods are Elimination Method, Graphical Method, Substitution Method, and Matrix Method. Let us try out Elimination method for solving a pair of simultaneous linear equations that reduces one equation to one that has only a single variable. Once this has been done, the solution is the same as that for when one line was vertical or parallel.
Therefore, eight years ago, Dupe's age was 6 and Olu's age was 3 so that x=2y becomes, 6=2*3. Eight years hence, x=6+8=14 and y=3+8=11. That makes, x or Dupe's age as 14 years and y or Olu's age as 11 years.

Near the end of 2010, the ledger of Stivers Company included the following accounts and balances: Allowance for Doubtful Account

Minchanka [31]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the balances of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Bad Debt Expense and Accounts Receivable is shown below;

For Accounts receivable

a) Opening balance $200,000 Debit balance

b) Current year credit sales (75% of $800,000) $600,000 Debit balance

c) (-) Current collection from accounts receivables -$450,000 Credit balance

d) (-) Bad debt expenses -$11,000 Credit balance

e) Closing balance of accounts receivables $339,000 Debit balance

for Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Allowance required as per Current year analysis (2% of (75% of $800,000) $12,000 Credit balance

(-) Opening balance $1,000 Credit balance

$11,000 Credit balance

The journal entry is

Bad debt expense a/c …Dr 11000

To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 11000

The Closing balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 12000 Credit balance

For Bad debt expenses

The journal entry is

Bad debt expense a/c …Dr 11000

To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 11000

The Closing balance of Bad debt expense account 0

Today, you borrowed $3,200 on a credit card that charges an interest rate of 12.9 percent, compounded monthly. How long will it

miskamm [114]

Answer:

It will take me = 30.99 years to pay-off the borrowed amount paying $60.00 every month

Explanation:

SOLUTION:

Using the Formula: A = P(1+r/n) ${nt}$

Where:

A= $60.00;

P = $3,200.00;

r = 12.9%;

n = 12

t =?

Substituting the values into the Formula =

$60 = $3,200(1 + 12.9%/12) ${12t}$

= $60 = $3,200(1 + 12.9%/12) ${12t}$

= $60.00 = $3,200.00 (1 + 0.129/12) ${12t}$

= $60.00 = $3,200.00 (1 + 0.01075 ) ${12t}$

= $60.00 = $3,200.00 (1.01075 ) ${12t}$

= $60.00/$3,200.00 = $3,200.00 (1.01075 ) ${12t}$ /$3200.00

= 0.01875 = (1.01075) $12t$

= Using the law of logarithm

= log $A^{N}$ = Nlog A

=12tlog(1.01075) = log0.01875

= 12log(1.01075)/(1.01075) = log0.01875/log(1.01075)

= 12t = log(0.01875)/log1.01075

= 12t = 1.7270/0.04644

Divide 12 by both sides

=12t/12 = 371.88774/12

t= 30.9898

∴ 30.99 years

It will take me = 30.99 years to pay-off the borrowed amount paying $60.00 every month
