Answer: -$100

Explanation:

Value of forward contract = Selling price - Forward price on bond

Forward price = Present value of cashflows + Present value of bond

Periodic rate = 7%/ 2 = 3.5% per semi annum

= 8% / 2 = 4%

3.5% will be used to discount the payment 6 months from now as that is the 6 month rate. The rest will be 4%.

= (80 / (1 + 3.5%) ) + ( 80 / ( 1 + 4%)²) + (940 / ( 1 +4%)²)

= $1,020.342

= $1,020

Value of forward contract = 920 - 1,020

= -$100

In the long run, a monopolistically competitive firm will earn: (A) normal profits because economic profits will attract new fir
enot [183]

Answer: Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct Option: Normal profits because economic profits will attract new firms and there are no entry restrictions.

In a monopolistically competitive market, firms will earn an economic profit in the short run, so new firms attracted with these profits and decided to enter into the market in the long run.

There is no barriers on entry and exit of the firms in the monopolistically competitive market. When new firms enters into the market, as a result supply of differentiated products increases.

This causes the firm's market demand curve to shift leftwards. It will continue shifting to the left in the firm market demand curve till the point where it is nearly tangent to the average total cost curve.

At this point, firms earns zero normal profit and can earn normal profits in the long run same as a perfectly competitive firm.

Write the difference between right and responsibility​
Natali [406]

Answer:

I gotchu-

Explanation:

A responsibility is something you have to do or (at least) ought to do.

For example, it's the US Citizens responsibility to drive safely.

A right is something you are allowed to do or permitted to do. You have no obligation to exercise your right.

For example, it's the US Citizens right to vote during an election.

In conclusion, a responsibilty is something that the govt expects you to do, while a right is a privelege the govt gives you if you follow the laws.

P.S. To have rights, you must follow your responsibilities.

Hope this helped :)

How can i use any 5 anterprenurial qualities to make sure my business is a success?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
1. If you have an item which you want to sell, make sure that you sell it for something more that what you bought it.

2. The items you are selling, sell them for a good price. If you go too expensive, no body will buy. But if you go cheap and easy, everyone will come to you.

3. when you have successfully started getting people to constantly buy your products, make your prices go higher slowly slowly.

4. Always make sure, the products you are selling are in good quality and are not... ruined in any way.

That's all the ideas I have. Hope it helped.
