Answer 1

the picture attached is the main question while the solution is given in the explanation box below

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

2017 = Loss = 25000 * 8 * [0.42-0.50] = 16000

2018 = Gain = 25000 * 8 * [0.50-0.43] = 14000

b)

2017 = gain = 25000 * 8 * [0.48-0.42] = 12000

c)

2017 = Loss = 25000 * 8 * [0.48 - 0.50] = 4000

2018 = Gain = 25000 * 8 * [0.50-0.43] = 14000
