Answer:

In

this case the present value of the strike price is 50e =49.75e

Because

25<49.7547.00

The condition in equation (10.5) is violated. An arbitrageur should borrow $49.50 at 6% for one month, buy the stock, and buy the put option. This generates a profit in all circumstances.If the stock price is above $50 in one month, the option expires worthless, but the stock can be sold for at least $50. A sum of $50 received in one month has a present value of $49.75 today. The strategy therefore generates profit with a present value of at least $0.25. If the stock price is below $50 in one month the put option is exercised and the stock owned is sold for exactly $50 (or $49.75 in present value terms). The trading strategy therefore generates a profit of exactly $0.25 in present value terms

The Behavior Analyst goes to the individual's residence to conduct a behavior
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Ideally, the Behavior Analyst should leave the business card, the name of the individual to be served, and the name of the service that will be provided. In this case, option B is the correct answer.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The Behavior Analyst needs to show that he tried to contact the customer and show that he is interested in contacting him again.
  • For this reason, he shows that the customer can get in touch with him, leaving the business card, with the contact forms.
  • To make this contact more professional and thus increase the credibility of the service, the Behavior Analyst leaves the name of the person to be served and the service that will be provided.

This type of behavior shows commitment to customer service, which gives the Behavior Analyst credibility and increases the chances of a contract.

Assume that the labor market for barbers is competitive and that it is differentiated into two groups:
ehidna [41]

Answer and Explanation:

I will go through each and every option explaining the reasons and what option would be the best:

The (a) part says 'difference in wages will eventually disappear since a haircut is a homogeneous good' - This is not true because even though it is an homogeneous product, some customers do have a strong preference for barbers who are not going bald. Therefore, they know their worth and they would want to capitalize on that and get paid just a bit more than bald barbers.

The (b) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will be able to charge a higher price for a haircut to those consumers who have a strong preference for barbers with hair'. - If the barbershop charges higher price for barbers that have hair then the customers will prefer bald barbers as the questions mentions that there is high competition and since it is an homogeneous, customers would be willing to save money and get their haircut from some other barber.

The (c) part says 'barbershops that hire bald barbers will always be much more profitable' - Not necessarily. The reason is that some customers have a strong preference for barbers who are not bald and therefore, that would help barbershops who have barbers with hair to be a bit more profitable as some additional customers would want their services.

The (d) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will always be much more profitable' - This is the best option and the reason for it is because some customers have a strong preference for barbers with hair and that would help the barbershop to earn more. They would have the customers who already indifferent to whoever cuts their hair and in addition to that, they would also have the customers who have their preference.

Hence the answer is D.

Quantity demanded price quantity supplied 45 $10 77 50 8 73 56 6 68 61 4 61 67 2 57 refer to the data. suppose quantity demanded
saul85 [17]

a. When the demand increases by 12 units, the equilibrium price rises to $6.2093 and the equilibrium quantity rises to 67.7442 units.

b. The price elasticity of supply (PES) at equilibrium is 0.20. Since the price elasticity is less than 1, we conclude that supply is inelastic.

From the given data, we can see that the equilibrium price is $4 and the equilibrium quantity is 68 units.

If the demand increases by 12 units at each point of price decline, the demand equation will be :

Qd = 105 - 6P

and the supply equation will be:

Qs = 51.6 + 2.6P

Since Quantity demanded and supplied are equal at equilibrium, we can equate the demand and supply equations and solve for price (P). Equating the two equations above, we get,

105-6P = 51.6 +2.6P

53.4 = 8.6P

P = $6.2093

Substituting the value of P in the demand equation, we get,

Qd = 105 - (6*6.2093)

Qd = 105 - 6P

Qd = 67.7442 units

b. Calculation of Price Elasticity of supply at equilibrium level.

P₀ = $4

Q₀ = 61

P₁ = $6.2093

Q₁ = 67.7442

% change in quantity = [ (Q_1 - Q_0) / Q_0 ] * 100

% change in quantity = 11.05607%

% change in price = [ (P_1 - P_0) / P_0 ] * 100

% change in price = 55.2325%

Price Elasticity of Supply (PES):

PES  = % change in quantity / % change in price

PES = 11.05607% / 55.2325%

PES = 0.20

Explain why America has a debt problem.
