Answer:

The trader exercises the option and loses money on the trade if the stock price is between $30 and $33 at option maturity.  

Explanation:

A call option is the right to buy an asset at an agreed price on the maturity date. This agreed price is known as the strike price.

In the given scenario, the strike price is $30. The trader pays an additional $3 for the right to exercise the option, thus paying a total of $33 for the option.

Now, if the asset price on maturity date is greater than $30, the trader shall exercise the option and buy the asset. This is because the market price of the asset is greater than the price the trader pays for it, resulting in a favorable situation for the trader.

However, the trader paid a total of $33 for the stock. Hence, the trader shall lose money on the trade as long as the asset price is below $33.

Therefore,  if the asset price upon maturity is between $30 and $33, the trader shall exercise the option but lose money on the trade.

If in the past Congress had taken additional actions to make saving more rewarding, then today it is likely that the equilibrium
posledela

Answer:

C

Explanation:

In this question, we are looking at what would be the later effect of the Congress taking steps to make sure that there is an increase in the amount of returns on savings for example, say the amount of interest rate on saved money is increased.

What will happen in this case is that the equilibrium interest rate would be lower while the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds will be higher. What he meant by the equilibrium interest rate is that it is the interest rate at which the amount of money demanded is equal to the amount of money supplied.

Due to the legislation by congress, it is expected that more money would be supplied in terms of bank deposits as people would want to make a higher profit off the legislation. The effect of this is that the equilibrium interest rate will be lower as its balance would have been upset my the availability of more deposits and less demand.

We also say that the equilibrium level of loanable funds will be higher. This is because there would be more money present in the vaults of the bank as savings have been encouraged and people are expected to fill the bank with more money. This thus means the bank has more money to throw around via loans as there is an increase in the amount of savings. This surely would drive up the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds

An economy is employing 2 units of capital, 5 units of raw materials, and 8 units of labour to produce its total output of 640 u
mart [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. To find the cost per unit of production, first we find the total cost. So we multiply the unit of each factor used times its cost.

capital: 2*$10=$20

raw materials: 5*$4=$20

labour: 8*$3=$24

Total cost: $20+$20+$24=$64

Then we divide the total cost over the total units produced:

Cost per unit: $64/640=$0,1 Answer is B

2. If the cost per unit of raw materials increases from $4 to 8$. Then the total cost of production will be:

capital: 2*$10=$20

raw materials: 5*$8=$40

labour: 8*$3=$24

Total cost: $20+$40+$24=$84

To find how much the cost per unit will rise, to find how much it rises

64$→100%

$84←x

x=($84*100%)/$64=131.2%

131.2%-100=31.2%. The answer is B

3. Because there is a change in raw materials, then there would be changes in the supply demand.  In this case, the total cost and the cost per unit increased, then it is a negative shock to the supply demand. This is represented as a shift to the left. The answer is D
