Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Call option is a financial contract that gives the holder(holder of call option) the right but not the obligation to buy an asset(bond, equity etc.). The holder of call option expects the underlying assets to increase in future.

The excercise price or strike price is $100

The premium(the price paid by the buyer to the seller to obtain this right) is $5

The total is $105($100 + $5)

So for profit to be recorded, this must be over $105 which is from $106.

Five hundred units of good x are currently bought and sold. The marginal buyer is willing to pay $40 for the 500th unit, and the
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

D : All options are correct

Explanation:

- The marginal buyer is the essence of demand curve while marginal seller is essence of supply curve.

- @ Q = 500 units,    Selling Price is set at SP = $35

- @ Q = 500 units,    Buying Price is set at BP = $40

- Since, SP ≠ BP our equilibrium price would be $ 37.5 assuming the price elasticity of demand and supply are equal. In any case the equilibrium price would lie in between [ 35 , 40 ] such that to prevent a shortage of units in near future.

- Moreover, if the seller decides to sell at price $35 then he must sell goods greater than 500 units to reach the equilibrium profits. However, it could also lead to excess of units or surplus.

- We see that from selling the goods at SP = $35 while the buyer is willing to pay BP = $40 for 500 goods, the seller would be under-profiting and would be earning $5*500 = $2,500 less than he would at equilibrium price of $40 and selling units greater than 500. Hence, 500 goods is not an efficient quantity of goods.

A large national bank charges local companies for using their services. A bank official reported the results of a regression ana
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The correct option is (b).

Explanation:

The regression equation to predict the bank's charges (Y) measured in dollars per month for services rendered to local companies based upon the company's sales revenue (X) measured in millions of dollars is:

\hat Y=-3100+27X

The <em>y</em>-intercept of the line is, -3100.

The slope of the line is, 27.

The <em>y-</em>intercept of a regression line is defined as the average value of the dependent variable when the independent variable value is 0.

The dependent variable, in this case, is the bank's charges and the independent variable is the company's sales revenue.

As the company's sales revenue cannot be $0, the <em>y</em>-intercept cannot be interpreted.

Thus, the correct option is (b).

statuscvo [17]

Answer: b. shoe-leather costs

Explanation:

This is the shoe-leather cost inflation. It refers to the time and effort expended by people to ensure that they are able to avoid their cash losing too much value to inflation. Includes for instance, going to the bank multiple times because you are holding little cash on hand so it does not lose value.

It is named shoe-leather costs as a play on words because it is assumed that the time and effort put will result in walking around alot and degrading the quality of your shoes.
