Answer:

The answer is 5000 future contracts

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Royal Dutch buys ethanol fuel from Brazilian energy company

Nowm,

The Required coverage = 500,000,000

The BRL/USD futures contract size = 100,000

Number of contracts required = 500,000,000/100,000

So,

= 500,000,000/100,000  = 5000

Therefore, the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery is 5000

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Willingness to pay

Revenue

Two

Elastic

Inelastic

Explanation:

Price discrimination is when a producer or a seller charges different prices for the same product usually in different markets.

In price discrimination, a seller attempts to remove or reduce consumer surplus by charging the consumer at his willingness to pay. For price discrimination to be effective, a seller must be able to estimate the willingness to pay of consumers.

Price discrimination is successful when a seller earns higher profits when she discriminates compared to when she didn't price discriminate.

Price discrimination exists in the airline industry. One of the ways price discrimination exists in the airline industry is through charging to check bags. Customers ( people who board airplanes) are distributed into two groups- those who won't pay to check bags and those who would pay to check bags.

It is assumed that those who would pay to check their bags have a price inelastic demand because they are indifferent to paying an extra amount for their luggage.

Inelastic demand is defined as when a small change in price has no effect on quantity demanded.

While it is assumed that those who won't pay to check their bags have an elastic demand because they are unwilling to pay extra to check their luggages.

Elastic demand is when a change in price has effect on quantity demanded.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

C. Anchoring

Explanation:

The first price to be mentioned will have an effect on the perception of all future prices. If we start with $200, then $100 will seem cheap, but £1000 seem expensive. But if we start with $10, then $100 will seem expensive.

The anchor for a price perception may be found in the first price mentioned. It can also arrive in the mind of the purchaser, where the anchor may have been set by previous experience.

Anton [14]

Payback period is the length of time a project recovers back the money invested.

Payback period= invested cash/ Net annual cash flow

Therefore payback period =40,000/5000

                                               =8.0 years

Since depreciation is a non- cash expense it is ignored while calculating payback period.
