Answer:

a) 3X + 2Y = 36

b) X = 6 , Y = 9

c) 27

Explanation:

Individual consumes : X and Y

Spends : $36 per time period

unit cost : $3 per unit for X

                 $2 per unit for Y

utility function : U( X, Y ) = .5XY

<u>A) Budget equation mathematically</u>

X* Px + Y* Py = M

3X + 2Y = 36

Px and Py = unit cost for X and Y

M = Total spent ( revenue )

<u>b) Values of X and Y that will maximize utility </u>

Maximum utility ( MRS )  = Px / Py ,

MRS = MUx / MUy

 = Y/X  = 3/2

∴ 2Y = 3X

From BC : 6X = 36 ( X = 6 plug into mathematically equation above )

∴ X = 6 , hence Y = 9

<u>c) Total utility generated per unit of time </u>

U( X,Y ) = .5XY

            = 0.5 * 6 * 9 = 27

a. Cash purchase of merchandise inventory - operating activity

b. Cash payment of dividend - financing activity

c. Cash receipt from the collection of long-term notes receivable - investing activity

Tju [1.3M]

Answer: B. 1 DEF Jan 50 Call

Explanation:

The Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) acting under its mandate of being an issuer and guarantor for options and futures contracts can alter options prices but does not do so for prices based on normal dividends as they are more regular and their effects are already accounted for in the price of the call.

When a company calls a one-time special cash dividend, this is new to the market which would not have incorporated it into the price of the call. The OCC will then adjust the price to account for this.

In this case it will do so by subtracting the dividend from the call;

= 55 - 5

= $50

The customer will then have 1 DEF Jan 50 Call .

As we know that

Capital gains yield is

= (Selling price per share × number of shares purchased) ÷ (Stock value) - 1

= $3,500 ÷ $3,245 - 1

= 0.07858

= 7.86%

We simply applied the above formula so that the capital gain yield could come and the same is to be considered
