On January 1, 2021, LLB Industries borrowed $230,000 from Trust Bank by issuing a two-year, 8% note, with interest payable quarterly. LLB entered into a two-year interest rate swap agreement on January 1, 2021, and designated the swap as a fair value hedge. Its intent was to hedge the risk that general interest rates will decline, causing the fair value of its debt to increase. The agreement called for the company to receive payment based on a 8% fixed interest rate on a notional amount of $230,000 and to pay interest based on a floating interest rate. The contract called for cash settlement of the net interest amount quarterly. Floating (LIBOR) settlement rates were 8% at January 1, 6% at March 31, and 4% June 30, 2021. The fair values of the swap are quotes obtained from a derivatives dealer. Those quotes and the fair values of the note are as indicated below. January 1 March 31 June 30 Fair value of interest rate swap 0 $ 6,772 $ 11,994 Fair value of note payable $ 230,000 $ 236,772 $ 241,994 Required: 1. Calculate the net cash settlement at March 31 and June 30, 2021. 2. Prepare the journal entries through June 30, 2021, to record the issuance of the note, interest, and necessary adjustments for changes in fair value.

Suppose a ceiling fan manufacturer has the total cost function c(x) = 48x + 1485 and the total revenue function r(x) = 75x. (a) what is the equation of the profit function p(x) for this commodity? p(x) = (b) what is the profit on 35 units? p(35) = interpret your result. the total costs are less than the revenue. the total costs are more than the revenue. the total costs are exactly the same as the revenue. (c) how many fans must be sold to avoid losing money? fans

5. profit maximization and shutting down in the short run suppose that the market for polos is a competitive market. the following graph shows the daily cost curves of a firm operating in this market. 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 price (dollars per polo) quantity (thousands of polos) mc atc avc for each price in the following table, calculate the firm's optimal quantity of units to produce, and determine the profit or loss if it produces at that quantity, using the data from the previous graph to identify its total variable cost. assume that if the firm is indifferent between producing and shutting down, it will produce.
