Answer:
On the ex date, the contracts will show as:
10 ABC Jan 60 Calls
The customer must exercise call contracts to buy the stock prior to the Ex-Date
Explanation:
The reason is that if the customer is not exercising the call contracts then it will not be able to receive the stock dividend. Furthermore, the OCC doesn't adjust the contract because of the dividend announcement prior to exercise of contract. This means it will only adjust if the contract is exercised.
The settlement of the exercise takes around 2 business working days, hence the customer must exercise the option 2 days earlier to the ex-date.
Answer:
These are the options for the question:
market-based
communist
command
laissez-faire
mixed
And this is the correct answer:
mixed
Explanation:
A mixed economy is an economy that either:
- Mixes state intervention with a free-market economy.
- Has some sectors of the economy run in market-based style, and other sectors in a planned-style.
- Has coexistence of public enterprises and private enterprises.
In the question, we have an example of a mixed economy because in the energy sector (a crucial sector in any economy), there is one public company competing against private companies.
The economy becomes even more mixed when the government lowers the tax rates of the private companies, so that both the public firm and the private firms compete under the same conditions.

Answer:
B) induces buyers to consume less, and sellers to produce less.
Explanation:
Taxes are a necessary evil since they always increase the price of the goods and services that consumers buy and decrease the amount of money that producers receive from selling their goods and services. But taxes are necessary and unavoidable.
But once a market assumes all the effects of existing taxes it reaches an equilibrium price that both consumers and producers are satisfied with. If a new tax is levied than the deadweight losses are greater since consumer surplus and producer surplus are both reduced. This will lead to a reduction in the incentive that both consumers and producers have to engage in transactions. Many times consumers will substitute heavily taxed goods for other goods since they feel they are getting more from consuming those goods (consumer surplus). The same happens to producers, many producers will change their heavily taxed goods for other goods.
If the price elasticity of demand or supply of a certain good is large (elastic demand and supply), the deadweight loss will be greater.
