Answer:

a). Chinook winds are created when cold air descending the sheltered (leeward) side of the Rockies is warmed by compression.

b). A circulation pattern consisting of a light wind blowing into the city from the countryside is characteristic of a country breeze.

c). A sea breeze is the result of the air over land heating, expanding, and rising, thereby creating a low-pressure area into which cooler air from over the ocean can move.

d). Heated air from mountain slopes gliding up along that slope results in a Valley breeze.

Explanation:

The given blanks have correctly been filled with terms matching the definitions provided. 'Chinook' is described as the descending warm, dry wind on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains that generally blow from the southwest and can rapidly increase the temperature due to the much warmer air it brings. While country winds are the light winds that blow towards the city from surrounding countries. Sea breezes are defined as the air blowing off the sea on the nearby land and make the area cooler. Valley breeze is the warm air that blows up towards the slopes.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

number of contracts needed to hedge is 3714

Explanation:

given data

asset duration = 5 years

liability duration = 2.5 years

assets = $1,000 million

liabilities = $750 million

time = 8.5 years

currently selling = $99,000

contract = $100,000

to find out

How many futures contracts does the bank need to fully hedge itself against interest rate risk

solution

we get here no of contract that is express as

no of contract = (DA - k × DL) A ÷ (DF × PF) .......................1

here DA is asset duration and DL is liability duration and A is assets and DF is time and PF is currently selling and

here K is $\frac{liabilities}{assets}$

k = $\frac{750}{1000}$

k = 0.75

so now put all value in equation 1

no of contract = (DA - k × DL) A ÷ (DF × PF)

no of contract = (5 -0.75 × 2.5) 1000 ÷ (8.5 × 99000)

no of contract = 3714

so number of contracts needed to hedge is 3714

A manufacturer estimates that its product can be produced at a total cost of C(x) = 50,000 + 100x + x3 dollars. If the manufactu

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The level of production x that will maximize the profit is: 22,966

Explanation:

C(x) = 50,000 + 100x + x³

R(x) = 3400x

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

= 3400x - [50,000 + 100x + x³]

= 3400x - 50,000 - 100x - x³

= 3300x - 50,000 - x³ .................... (A)

P'(x) = 3300(1) - 0 - 3x²

= 3300 - 3x²

At a critical point, P'(x) = 0

∴ 0 = 3300 - 3x²

3x² = 3300

x² = 1100

x = ± $\sqrt{1100}$

P"(x) = -6x

P( $\sqrt{1100}$ ) = -6 ( $\sqrt{1100}$ ) < 0

by second derivative, 'P' max at x = $\sqrt{1100}$ = 33.17 (rounds)

since x = $\sqrt{1100}$ ,

recall that P(x) = 3300x - 50,000 - x³ from equation (A)

Therefore, Maximum Profit

P( $\sqrt{1100}$ ) = 3300 $\sqrt{1100}$ - 50000 - $\sqrt{1100} ^{3}$

= 3300(33.17) - 50,000 - 33.17³

= 109461 -50,000 - 36495.26

= 22,965.74

Maximum profit is 22,966 to the nearest whole number
