You are six months from graduating college and begin to think about your future. Knowing that you’ll soon be searching for a job

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

a. Unemployment rate drops to 5.6% from 6.1%, the third straight drop in the last three months.

GOOD NEWS, a major factor that contributes to a decrease in unemployment is economic growth. Since unemployment is decreasing, you can assume that the economy is growing.

b. GDP comes in at $17 trillion this quarter, compared to $16.5 trillion last quarter.

GOODS NEWS, the economy is growing, therefore, there should be more jobs available.

c. Prices, as measured by the CPI, increased by 10% last year and it could be even higher this year.

BAD NEWS, a high inflation rate generally leads to monetary and fiscal adjustments which will cool down the economy. Even if the economy is still growing, it will soon stop doing so.

d. GDP drops by 2% in the 3rd quarter, after growing at 5% in the 2nd quarter.

BAD NEWS, the economy probably reached its zenith and once it reaches its highest point, the path is only downwards. The economy will probably soon enter a recession (or at least stop growing).

On January 1, you sold short four round lots (that is, 400 shares) of Four Sisters stock at $63 per share. On March 1, a dividen

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Value of the account = -$900

Explanation:

Accumulated profits from the short sale = Number of shares x Price per share

= 300 x $50 = $15,000

Commissions that are paid during the short sale = Commission per share x Number of shares

= 0.5 x 300 = $150

The Net proceeds from the short sale = Proceeds – Commissions

= 15000 – 150 = $14,850

Total dividend paid = Number of shares x Dividend per share

= 300 x 3 = $900

Money paid in covering the short sale = Number of shares x Price

= 300 x $49 = $14,700

Commissions paid in covering the short sale = Commission per share x Number of shares

= 0.5 x 300 = $150

Total money paid in covering the short sale

= 14700 + 150 = $14,850

Therefore, Value of the account = Proceeds – Dividend paid – Money paid

= $14,850 - $900 - $14,850 = -$900

Value of the account = -$900
