Answer:

The payoff from holding the position between June and August is $2,100 "loss"

Explanation:

Since I had gone long on the contract and it has gone down in value, I would be having a loss. The value of the loss will be:

= ($1.5 - $1.45) x 42,000 gallon of RBOB gasoline

= $0.05 * 42,000 gallon of RBOB gasoline

= $2,100 (Loss)

joja [24]

Answer:

X=97.24

Explanation:

PV = Present Value = X+2000 by the 16th years

PMT = Payments = $100

FV = Future Value = 2000 at the end of 16 years

n= number of years

Applying the equation of future value for annuity

FV = pmt* ​((1+r)ⁿ - 1   )/r

Inputting the values;

2000=100*((1+r)¹⁶-1)/r

Solving for r, gives r = 2.9%

Therefore using the formula for PV for annuity;

PV=PMT*(1-(1/1+r)/r)

X=100*(1-(1/1.029)/0.029

X=100*((1-0.9718)/0.029)

X=100*(0.0282/0.029)

X=97.24

devlian [24]

Incomplete question. I answered from a general economic standpoint.

Answer:

<u>stay the same; decrease</u>

Explanation:

<em>Remember</em>, in this scenario, it wasn't as though the mentioned workers lost their jobs, they only had their hours reduced by their employers; so they are not <u>unemployed</u>. This, therefore, implies that the unemployment rate will stay the same.

The labor force participation rate in simple words refers to the percentage of those who are currently employed or looking for a job within an economy. If the working hours are reduced, it may diminish the zeal among the workforce of an economy to work or find work because <u>they may perceive they''ll earn less.</u>
