Answer:

D

Explanation:

Maria's time (resource) is limited so she has to choose between activities. This is known as trade off. Due to unlimited wants and limited resources available to fulfil the needs, humans must choose between activities.

This concept of trade off also gives rise to opportunity cost

opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives

If Maria swims, she forgoes the opportunity to go bike riding or running

Assoli18 [71]

Answer: a. There was not an enforceable agreement. However under the UCC, part performance makes that portion of the agreement binding on Hearn. Hearn may not return the 40 turbines, but is not obligated to purchased the remaining 60.

Explanation:

The Statute of Frauds under the Uniform Commercial Code requires that for a contract with a value higher than $500 for goods to be enforceable, it needs to be in writing. This contract is therefore not enforceable.

However, there is an exception to this rule for performance or partial performance. If the parties have already partially completed the contract for instance, the completed portion is enforceable. The remaining portion however, is not, and therefore can be renegaded upon.

A trader creates a long butterfly spread from options with strike prices $60, $65, and $70 by trading a total of 400 options. Th
malfutka [58]

Answer:

$400

Explanation:

From the question, there is a butterfly spread when a trader buys 100 options with strike prices $60 and $70 and sells 200 options with strike price $65.

The maximum gain is the point where both the stock price and the middle strike price are equal, i.e. equal to $65. At that point, the options payoffs are respectively $500, 0, and 0. By implication, the total payoff is $500.

The set up cost of the butterfly spread can be calculated as follows:

Setup cost = ($11×100) + ($18×100) – ($14×200)

                  = 1,100 + 1,800 – 2,800

Setup cost = $100

Net gain = Options payoffs – Setup cost = $500 - $100 = $400

Therefore, the maximum net gain (after the cost of the options is taken into account) is $400.

= 1.35 × 1.065/1.06

= 1.35 × 1.0047

= 1.356345
