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

Deadweight loss is A. the reduction in consumer expenditure resulting from market failure. B. the reduction in economic surplus
never [62]

Answer:

The answer is: B) The reduction in economic surplus resulting from a market not being in competitive equilibrium.

Explanation:

Deadweight loss is an economic cost to society as a whole when market inefficiencies occur preventing it from reaching its equilibrium point. Market inefficiencies are caused by incorrect allocation of resources.

For example if a price ceiling is established, suppliers will tend to lower the quantity supplied while the quantity demanded either increases or stays the same. That economic deficiency resulting from an unsatisfied demand is what we call deadweight loss.

Other causes for deadweight loss are price floors (reduction of the quantity demanded) and taxation (shifts on the demand or supply curves).
