Answer:

1.10 dollars or 110 cents

Explanation:

We have a fall in the balance margin by contract.

We calculate the change as:

-1,500 =[ future price - (1.20)]*15000

We got 1.20 by dividing 120 by 10.

-1500 = [future price - (1.20)]*15000

Divide through by 15000

-1500/15000 = future price - 1.20

-0.10 = future price -1.20

Collect like terms

-0.10+1.20 = future price

1.10 = future price

Therefore the margin is $1.10 or 110 cents

Properties of numbers 7(x-3)=7x-21
Yuliya22 [10]
This property is called the distributive property. It is when you distribute the number outside the parenthesis into the numbers and letters inside the parenthesis.

Example: 

7(x-3) = 7x-21

10(x+5+8) = 10x+50+80 = 10x +130

be sure to simplify like terms as in the example above

10 ( x²+5x³+2x²) = 10x²+50x³+20x² = 30x²+50x³

answer: 30x²+50x³

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

2.072 rights

Explanation:

Amount needed to buy the land = $8.6 million = $8,600,000

stock outstanding = 540,000

Market price per share = $34.80

subscription price = $33 a share

Now,

Number shares to be issued = ( Amount needed ) ÷ ( subscription price )

= $8,600,000 ÷ $33

= 260606.06 shares

1 rights will be issued per stock

thus,

number of rights required for purchase

= ( stock outstanding ) ÷ ( Number shares to be issued  )

= 540,000 ÷ 260606.06

= 2.072 rights
