Answer:

$4.50

Explanation:

In order to make a profit from the futures contracts, it would be appropriate to take a long position in the  June futures contract(buy) and take a short position in the December futures contract.

The investor would borrow $60 today which would necessitate paying back $60 plus a half-year in interest payment.

loan repayment=$60*(1+5%/2)=$ 61.50  

In December, sell crude oil at $66 and repay the loan principal and interest

profit=$66-$61.50=$4.50

umka2103 [35]
Answer:  $403.20

Explanation:


We use a mortgage calculator to calculate the interest paid in the final payment. Since each repayment is made at the end of year, the repayments are annual payments. So, the calculator should have an annual amortization schedule to solve the problem.

I used http://www.calculator.net/loan-calculator for the calculation because it has an annual payment schedule. Then, I went under the subtitle Paying Back a Fixed Amount Periodically because the payments are equal. In that online calculator, I just input these data:

- Loan Amount: $12,000
- Loan Term: 4 (Loan term is number of years to pay the loan)
- Interest Rate: 11.5%
- Compound: Annually (APY) 
- Pay Back: Every year

Then, I clicked the calculate button and view amortization table. The annual amortization schedule is attached in this answer. 

To determine the interest paid at the final payment, I looked at payment #4 because the final payment is at the 4th year. (The loan is paid in 4 annual payments).

As seen in the attached image, the interest paid in payment #4 is $403.20. Hence, the interest paid in the final payment is $403.20.

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Number of car washed is 92

So option (a) is correct answer

Explanation:

It is given that 4 workers can wash 80 cars per day

Means initially 80 cars are washed per day

And it is given that rate of car wash is $5 per car

Now price of workers is $60 per day

As per car wash is $5

So number of extra car washed =\frac{60}{5}=12

So total number of car washed = 80 + 12 = 92 cars per day

So option (a) is correct answer
