Answer:
The trader has incurred a loss because the price of crude oil futures has increased.
Loss = (Today's closing price - Yesterday's closing price) * 10 * 100
Loss = (57 - 55.30) * 100 Per contract
Loss = $170 per contract
Loss for 10 contracts = 170 * 10 = $1,700
Now the account balance = Current margin balance - Loss for 10 contracts
The account balance = 28,000 - 1,700
The account balance = $26,300
Maintenance margin for 10 contracts = 2,500 * 10 = $25,000
Since the account balance is greater than the required maintenance margin for 10 contracts, the investor is not required to deposit money into the margin account.

Answer:
option (d) $200.00
Explanation:
Average total cost for 100 pairs = $2.50
Marginal cost for every pair = $10.00
Now,
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost
or
Fixed cost = Total cost - variable cost
or
Fixed cost = (Average total cost × 100) - (Marginal cost × 100)
= ($2.5 × 100) - ($1 × 100)
= $250 - $100
= $150
thus,
Total cost to produce 50 pairs of oven gloves
= fixed cost + variable cost
= $150 + (50 × $1)
= $150 + $50
= $200
Hence,
option (d) $200.00
Answer:
11.86%
Explanation:
Piedmont hotels can be described as an all-equity company
Its stock has a beta of 0.82
The market risk premium is 6.9%
The risk free rate is 4.5%
The adjustment is 1.7%
Therefore, the required rate of return can be calculated as follows
Required rate of return= Risk free rate of return + ( beta×market risk premium) + adjustment
= 4.5% + (0.82×6.9%) + 1.7%
= 4.5% + 5.658 + 1.7%
= 11.86%
Hence the required rate of return for the project is 11.86%
