Answer:

If a company increases its final goods inventory level, that will increase the country's GDP even if the goods are not sold during the current period (they will be sold in future periods). Increases in inventory level are considered part of Investment component of the GDP.

If the inventories are not sold during the year (2018) and if they continue to be unsold during part of 2019, that will negatively affect the GDP because fewer goods will be purchased to replenish these inventories and the market price of the goods will also decrease. The market price of goods is determined by the supply and demand. If the supply is much higher than the demand and inventories start to pile up, their price will decrease in order to increase the quantity demanded. If the volume of the goods in inventory is significant enough, this should lower the inflation rate.

Neko [114]

Answer:

13.33%

Explanation:

Short sale = 500 shares × $25 = $12500

Margin required to be deposited as a percentage of transaction of short sale = $12500 × 60% = $7500

Rate after one year, $23

A short position will be squared by a reverse long (buy) position,

Thus, 500 shares long at $ 23 = 500 shares × 23 = $11,500

Thus, gain on the transaction:

= Short sale value - long buy value

= $12,500 - $11500

= $1000

Since, the contract being derivative wherein only net amount i.e $1000 would be transacted, i.e actually received here, the money invested is $7500 which was deposited in the margin account.

Rate of return after 1 year would be = $\frac{Gain\ earned}{Margin\ deposited}$ = $\frac{1000}{7500}$ = 13.33%
