Answer:  

E. buyer; take; seller; make

Explanation:

A forward contract is a private agreement or a customized contract   between two parties giving the buyer an obligation to purchase an asset (and the seller an obligation to sell an asset) at a set price at a future point in time.

If you plan to grow 500 orange trees five years, you could sell your oranges for whatever the price is when you harvest it, or you could lock in a price now by selling a forward contract that obligates you to sell 500 orange trees to , say, Orange juice company after the harvest for a fixed price. By locking in the price now, you eliminate the risk of falling orange prices. On the other hand, if prices rise later, you will get only what your contract entitles you to.

If you are Orange juice company, you might want to purchase a forward contract to lock in prices and control your costs. However, you might end up overpaying or (hopefully) underpaying for the orange depending on the market price when you take delivery of the orange.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

The law of increasing oportunity costs means that as we go on substituting production of one good for another the opportunity cost of sacrificing the alternative will go on increasing. That is whythe prodcution possibilty curve is concave and bowed outward.

Because of increasing opportunity costs, there is a limit to specialization of antions in production of a commodity. As they go on producing the goods they specialize in, the opportunity cost of giving up the alternative goes on increasing.

Answer:

B. a brand new automobile dealership opens in town.

Explanation:

In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.

The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal.

Thus, there exist a negative relationship between the quantity of goods demanded and the price of a good i.e when the prices of goods and services in the market increases or rises: there would be a significant decline or fall in the demand for this goods and services.

This ultimately implies that, an increase in the price level of a product usually results in a decrease in the quality of real output demanded along the aggregate demand curve.

An aggregate demand curve gives a negative relationship between the aggregate price level for goods or services and the quantity of aggregate output demanded in an economy at a specific period of time.

Most economists use the aggregate demand and aggregate supply model primarily to analyze short-run fluctuations in the economy.

This simply means that, whatever makes the factors of production such as, land, labor, entrepreneurship, capital, or efficiency to either go up or down would certainly result in fluctuations in the economy of a particular country. Similarly, a positive increase of the aggregate demand or supply curve results in a rightward shift while a decrease would cause a leftward shift.

In this scenario, the factors which would shift the demand curve for automobile are;

I. A fall in the price of gasoline.

II. An increase in the amount of money being paid to its workers.

However, the demand curve for automobile wouldn't shift to the right because a brand new automobile dealership opens in town. This is more likely to shift the aggregate supply curve to the right.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

a. the portion of its marginal cost curve that lies above the AVC

Explanation:

In short run, a perfectly competitive produces as long as its price is above its AVC, so revenues can cover total variable cost. If price is below AVC, the firm has to shut down. Since such a firm maximizes profit by equating Price with MC, this condition means that firm's supply curve is its MC curve lying above the (minimum point of) AVC curve.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

a: 12.8%

Explanation:

Standard Deviation would be calculated with the probability approach since there is probability given in the question.

  • Formula of Standard Deviation and the solution is given in the pictures below.
  • Although ERR the required part to calculate Standard Deviation is calculated in the text.

Calculating ERR:

ERR= Sum of Probabilities × Rate of returns.

In our question = ERR= 0.2 × 30% + 0.5 × 10% + 0.3 × (-6%) = 0.128 = 12.8%

Thus, by putting all the values in the formula you will get the answer 12.8%.
