Since people place a positive value on leisure, it is clearly inappropriate to assume that there is zero opportunity cost in employing labour which would otherwise be unemployed. Rather, the correct shadow price of this labour is its supply price, that is, that wage which is just sufficient to get it to work. One might suppose that the supply price of unemployed labour will be functionally related to the level of unemployment insurance benefits and to the average duration of unemployment. 2, record 2, English, - supply%20price

A low exercise price option(LEPO) is a call option with an exercise price set deep in-the-money. The limiting case, a zero exercise price option, is when the strike price is zero. It is virtually certain to be exercised and the value and performance of its intrinsic value is effectively identical to that of the underlying equity. These features are designed to allow participation in the performance of an equity price where there are legal or financial obstacles to purchasing the underlying [equity] directly. 2, record 3, English, - low%20exercise%20price%20option
