Answer:

$99,500

Explanation:

Adjusted gross income before considering the rental loss $118,000.

Less generated a loss of $18,500

Adjusted gross income $99,500

Carlos qualifies under the real estate professional exception due to the fact that he spends more than 50% of his personal service time in real property trade and the amount of time spent in real property trade is higher than 750 hours, he is as well the sole owner and spends more than 100hours.

Therefore the rental activity is not considered passive and he is allowed to offset the $18,500 loss against his active and portfolio income which is why Carlos'sadjusted gross income after considering the loss is $99,500 ($118,000 -$18,500)

C. Sell a straddle

Explanation:

Considering the following calculation: Sell a straddle = sell a put + sell a call

and,

Premium income for selling a straddle = (P + C )100 = ($3 + $4)(100) = $700.

a short straddle involves simultaneously selling a put option and call option with the same underlying asset, same exercise price and expiration date

By Selling a 3 month put option with exercise price of $40 one will get $3 (inflow of $3)

Simulatenously By Selling a 3 month call option with exercise of $40 one wiil get $4(inflow of $4)

Thus the total premium income of selling a straddle is $7

(Table: Cherry Farm) Use Table: Cherry Farm. If Hank and Helen have one of 100 farms in the perfectly competitive cherry industr
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

500

Explanation:

please find attached the table referred to in this question and a second table where marginal cost is included

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogeneous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply.

in a perfect competition, price = marginal cost = marginal revenue

Marginal cost = total cost 2 - total cost 1

e.g. marginal cost at 2 units of output = $7 - $2 = $5

Hank and Helen would supply at the point  where marginal cost is equal to $5.

looking at the second attached table, there are two points where marginal cost is equal to $5. at output 1 and output 5.

at output one, Hank and Helen would be earning a loss because total cost is greater than total revenue. so they would not supply at this point.

at output five, Hank and Helen would earn a profit and thus would supply at 5 units of output.

Since all firms face and identical cost structure, the industry supply would be 100 x 5 = 500 pounds

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

A) Behavioural

Explanation:

Behavioral control refers to facts that show whether there is a right to direct or control how the worker does the work. A worker is an employee when the business has the right to direct and control the worker. The business does not have to actually direct or control the way the work is done as long as the employer has the right to direct and control the work.

Why do most economists believe that it is important for a country’s central bank be independent of the rest of the country’s cen
ohaa [14]

Answer:

For economists is important to avoid political interferance in the monetary policy. Populist governments often use the creation of money to justify their political programs, causing inflation and distortions on the market.

In the last report of FOMC is highlighted the behaviour of market labour and the lower expectations of inflation.

Explanation:

There are two tools commonly used in political economy to finance government programs: taxation and paper currency print. When the central bank is not independent, the government has an incentive to print money to fund their programs, causing inflation. In economic science has been demonstrated that inflation is always caused by monetary phenomena.
