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

Dmitri is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking, and running. Consider the following sentence: B
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Decision on the margins

Explanation:

Pool time seems to be having a greater effect at the moment, it makes sense for his to spend a bit more time in the pool and a bit less time on the bike.

However, this does not mean that it makes sense for her to spend all his time in the pool and no time on the bike. If he cut out all training on the bike, the value of a little bit of bike training might be higher than the value of the last hour of pool training. Dimitri does not treat biking versus swimming as an all-or-nothing decision. He makes small changes at the margin in the number of hours spent training for each activity.

Also they both realise that his time is fixed (20hrs) and anytime he wants to spend extra on one activit, is time he cannot spend on another (opportunity cost).

They are both trying to improve Dimitri's total time (exploiting opportunities to makes themselves better off).

An assumption that Dimitri realises that as he spends more time in the pool improving his swim time, his run and cycle times will suffer. As he swims more, his improvement is likely to slow down, while spending less time on cycling and running will cost him progressively more in terms of time.

Conclusion Dimitri is looking at the margins. His wife on the other hand, is not, she is ignoring the interaction, may be forgetting the decreasing improvements in swim and increasing deterioration in the other 2 legs.

AveGali [126]

Answer:

the  re-order point is 97.17

Explanation:

The computation of the re-order point is given below:

Re-order point is

= (Daily demand × Lead time) + (Z × Standard deviation × Sqrt(Lead time)

= (25 × 3) + (1.28 × 10 × Sqrt(3))

= 97.17

hence, the  re-order point is 97.17
