Answer:
$10 profit
Explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the profit or loss to a short position.
Firstly, we identify that the spot price of market index is $900.
Now, a three months forward contract equals a value of $930.
Raising the index to $920 at the expiry date is obviously a profit to the short position.
To calculate the profit here, we simply subtract the index at expiry date from the three months forward contract.
Mathematically, this is equal to $930-$920 = $10 profit
Explanation:
The portfolio weight of an asset is the total investment in that asset divided by the total portfolio value. First, we will find the portfolio value, which is:
Total value = 122($32) + 102($22) = $6,148
The portfolio weight for each stock is:
WeightA = 122($32) / $6,148 = .6350
WeightB = 102($22) / $6,148 = .3650

- Total Sales along with sales tax = $18,530, Sales Tax Rate = 9%. Sales Tax Amount = 18530*(0.09/1.09) = $1,530
- Sales Without Sales Tax = $18,530 - $1,530 = $17,000
