Answer:

Borrow in dollars then at spot rate convert money to british pound. Invest in the pounds for half a year and convert back to dollars.

Explanation:

Access to credit = $20000000

We do a conversion to pounds

= 20000000/2

= £10000000

When this is invested for 6 months

10000000 x 1 +4% x6/12

= 10000000(1+0.04*0.5)

= 10000000x1.02

= 10200000

We then make a conversion back to dollars

10200000 x 2.2

= 22,440,000 dollars

Loan to be repaid

20000000(1+6%x6/12)

= 20000000 x 1 +0.06*0.5

= 20000000 x 1.03

= 20,600,000

Then arbitrage profit = 22440000 - 20600000

= 1840000

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

$60

Explanation:

The computation of price is shown below:-

Producer Surplus = Price paid by consumers - Production cost

$100 = Price - ($15 + $25 + $40)

$100 = Price - $80

Price for all = $100 + $80

= $180

Price Per consumer = Price for all ÷ First three lawns

= $180 ÷ 3

= $60

Therefore, for computing the price per consumer we simply divide first three lawn by price for all.
