Back in May 2020, an ethanol plant’s risk manager looked at futures prices and considered a hedge to lock in a price on part of her new-crop corn acquisition planned for mid-to-late October 2020. She saw that the December 2020 futures contract was trading at $3.20/bushel and she knew that the basis in mid-October—when she expected to take delivery of the corn in question and to lift the hedge (i.e., to offset her futures position)—has typically (most years) been about 25 cents under December. What net price did she, back in May, expect to pay in October 2020 if she placed this hedge? d. $2.80/bu b. $2.95/bu c. $3.20/bu a. $3.45/bu e. None of the above

On October 15, 2016, Koala, Inc. issued a 10 year bond (with a typical $1000 face value) that had an annual coupon value of $60. [We are assuming that the 2020 coupon has just been redeemed.]

• Initially, the bond was sold for the premium price of $1,025.

• On October 15, 2020, this bond was selling for only $975.

• The market rate of interest for a riskless corporate bond, of this maturity, was 4.5% on October 15, 2016, which reflects market expectations about future rates of inflation.

• The market rate of interest for a riskless corporate bond, of this maturity, was 4.0% on October 15, 2020, which reflects market expectations about future rates of inflation.

Question- What was the nominal yield on this bond on October 15, 2020?  [To 1 decimal place.]

On January 1, 2020, Sunland Manufacturers had 342,000 common shares outstanding. On April 1, the corporation issued 34,200 new common shares to raise additional capital. On July 1, the corporation declared and distributed a 10% stock dividend on its common shares.

b) Assume that Sunland Manufacturers had a 1-for-10 reverse stock split instead of a 10% stock dividend on July 1, 2020. Calculate the weighted average number of shares outstanding as at December 31, 2020.
