Answer:

0.6

Explanation:

Correlation r = 0.9,

Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity A, σA = 2,

Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity B, σB = 3

The hedge ratio will be calculated using the formula

Hedge ratio=r×σA÷σB

Hedge ratio=0.9×2÷3

Hedge ratio = 0.6

Therefore, the hedge ratio used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A is 0.6.

Mitch, a single taxpayer, earns $100,000 in taxable income and $10,000 in interest from an investment in city of Birmingham Bond
Ivan

Answer:

The answer is: $18,289.50

Explanation:

The interest earned from the investment in Birmingham Bonds is not included in Mitch's gross income.

If Mitch earned $100,000, so he will fall under the fourth bracket for single filers.

He will have to pay $14,089.50 plus 24% of any income over $82,500.

taxes due = $14,089.50 + [($100,000 - $82,500) x 24%]

taxes due = $14,089.50 + $4,200 = $18,289.50
