Assume that an investor purchased a put option on BP with an exercise price of $1.900 for $0.0215 per unit. There are 31,250 units in a GBP options contract. At the time of the option expiration date, the spot price for GBP was $1.885. What was the net profit/loss on this option to the investor?
a. $203.125
b. $671.8750
c. $468.75
d. $1,140.625

Answers

Answer:

a. $203.125

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the net profit/loss on this option to the investor

Net profit/loss=((1.900 - 1.885) - 0.0215)(31,250)

Net profit/loss=(0.015-0.0215)*31,250

Net profit/loss=0.0065*31,250

Net profit/loss=$203.125

Therefore the net profit/loss on this option to the investor will be $203.125

Newton Company is considering the purchase of an asset that will provide a depreciation tax shield of $19,200 per year for 10 years. Assuming the company is subject to a 40% tax rate during the period, and a zero salvage value, what is the depreciable cost of the new asset

Answers

Answer:

$480,000

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciable cost of the new asset is shown below:

Given that

Depreciation tax shield = $19,200

Tax rate= 40%

Now  

Actual Depreciation for the year is

= $19,200 ÷ 40%

= $48,000

Now  

Total Depreciation cost for 10 years  is

= $48,000 × 10

= $480,000

Complete Question:

Your firm currently has net working capital of $132,000 that it expects to grow at a rate of 4% per year forever. You are considering some suggestions that could slow that growth to 2% per year. If your discount rate is 10%, how would these changes impact the value of your firm? The value of the firm would $ (Round to the nearest dollar.)

Answer:

The Firm

a. The changes will reduce the value of the firm from $2,200,000 to $1,650,000, a difference of $550,000.

b. The value of the firm would be $1,650,000 if the changes are retained.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Current net working capital = $132,000

Expected growth rate = 4%

Desired growth rate = 2%

Firm's discount rate = 10%

Value of firm with expected growth rate of 4% = NWC/(k - g)

where NWC = Net Working Capital

k = discount rate

g = growth rate

Therefore value of the firm = $132,000/(0.1 - 0.04)

= $132,000/0.06

= $2,200,000

Value of the firm with reduced growth rate of 2%:

= $132,000/(0.1 - 0.02)

= $132,000/0.08

= $1,650,000

Answer:

am i supposed to know

Explanation:

Kanye, Jonny, Jaco, and Neil are trying to form a band. They each have some basic skills on most instruments, so their current plan is for each of them to rotate among vocals, guitar, bass, and drums. After a year of practice and rehearsals the band still sounds awful. Kanye cannot keep a steady beat when on bass or drums, Jaco sounds terrible on everything except the bass, nobody except Jonny can remember all the chords on guitar, and even Neil's own mother thinks his singing sounds like a dying cow. At their current rate, they expect it will be several years before they are good enough to land their first paid performance. None of them have enough money saved up to last that long. They all know you are taking economics and ask your advice. What would you say to them?

Answers

Answer:

2- Have each member specialize in the role that they are best in, to take advantage of benefits from specialization.

Explanation:

Here are the options

1- Continue with the current plan, as economies of scale should eventually kick in.

2- Have each member specialize in the role that they are best in, to take advantage of benefits from specialization.

3- Abandon the band, as continued practice is doomed to suffer diminishing marginal returns.

4- Invest their remaining savings in new instruments, as they are at a point where the marginal product of capital exceeds the marginal product of labor.

5- Change the rotation to be random rather than equal, to take advantage of heteroskedasticity.

Specialisation is when a person focuses on an activity in which they are efficient in or have a comparative advantage in

A person has a comparative advantage in production if he produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other people

Jaco seems to be efficient at playing bass, thus he should specialise in this activity

Jonny seems to be efficient at playing the guitar, thus he should specialise in this activity

An advantage of specialisation : Increased efficiency as a result of carrying out the same activity multiple time.

Kansas Company acquired a building valued at $150,000 for property tax purposes in exchange for 10,000 shares of its $5 par common stock. The stock is widely traded and sold for $16 per share. At what amount should the building be recorded by Kansas Company

Answers

Answer:

$160000

Explanation:

Below is the calculation for the amount that should be recorded.

The actual value of  building = $150000

Number of shares = 10000 shares

The stock is traded at the price = $16 per shares

The Kansas company should record the amount of building = total share x Sell price

The Kansas company should record the amount of building = 10000 x 16

The Kansas company should record the amount of building = $160000 (fair market value or price of shares)

Answers

Answer:

16.25;

g(f(x)) ;

76 ;

f(g(x))

Explanation:

For 15 off

f(x) = x - 15

For 35% off

g(x) = (1 - 0.35)x = 0.65x

g(x) = 0.65x

A.)

For the $15 off coupon :

f(x) = x - 15

f(x) 40 - 15 = 25

For the 35% coupon :

g(x) = (1-0.35)x

g(x) = 0.65(25)

g(x) = 16.25

B.)

Applying $15 off first, then 35%

Here, g is a function of f(x)

g(f(x))

Here g(x) takes in the result of f(x) ;

For the $140 off coupon :

f(x) = x - 15

f(140) = 140 - 15 = 125

For the 35% coupon :

g(125) = (1-0.35)x

g(124) = 0.65(125) = $81.25

C.)

x = 140

g(x) = 0.65x

g(140) = 0.65(140)

g(140) = 91

f(x) = x - 15

f(91) = 91 - 15

f(91) = 76

D.)

Here, F is a function of g(x)

f(g(x))

f(x) = (0.65*140) - 15

Answers

Answer:

1.90%

Explanation:

Note that that CAD exchange rate would be in terms of how many US dollars can be exchanged for 1 CAD, which means that the formula for forward premium would be stated in terms of US dollars, I mean the US$ as the numerator and CAD's interest rate would be the denominator

the forward premium for CAD=((1+US interest rate)/(1+Canada interest rate))-1

Karla makes a pitch to her supervisor about changing their company's stance on recycling but finds out after the pitch meeting that her supervisor was already considering a change to the recycling policy. Which component of advocacy did Karla fail to consider

Answers

Answer:

Knowing the supervisor's knowledge

Explanation:

In making a pitch about a particular idea it is important to to follow the steps of advocacy in order to effectively promote the idea and get a positive result.

In the given scenario Karla makes a pitch to her supervisor about changing their company's stance on recycling.

The steps to follow are:

- identify a challenge or opportunity

- determine your audience

- find out what they already know or perceive

- determine how receptive they are

- establish objectives for the audience

- define points for the audience

- determine channel of communication

- decide on needed resources

- set timelines for activities

- evaluate success

Karla did not know her supervisor was already considering a change to the recycling policy.

So she failed to determine her Supervisor's knowledge of the situation.

The component of advocacy that Karla has failed to consider here is the supervisors knowledge.

She made a pitch about the issue without finding out if the supervisor already had a prior knowledge to what was happening.

This would have made her to make her case in a different way. The principle of advocacy is done with the aim of promoting a cause or interests of certain people.

She did not consider that the pitch she was making had already been dealt with by the supervisor she was giving it to.

Olive Tree Products sold 86,000 units during the last period when industry volume totaled 334,000 units. The company originally expected to sell 89,000 based on a budgeted market share of 20 percent. The budgeted selling price was $59 per unit. Budgeted variable costs were $34 per unit. Budgeted fixed costs were $314,000 and applied based on units produced.
Required: Compute the sales activity variance, and break it down into market share variance and the industry volume variance

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Actual units sold = 86000

Budgeted units sold = 89000

Budgeted selling price = 59

Budgeted variable cost = 34

Budgeted contribution margin = 59 - 34 = 25

Budgeted market share = 20%

Acual industry volume = 334000

Standard units sold = 20% × 334000 = 66800

Sales activity variance:

= (Actual units sold - Budgeted units sold) × Budgeted contribution margin

= (86000 - 89000) × 25

= -3000 × 25

= 75000 Unfavorable

Market share variance will be:

= (86000 × 25) - (66800 × 25)

= 2150000 - 1670000

= 480000 Favorable

Industry volume variance:

= (66800 × 25) - (89000 × 25)

= 1670000 - 2225000

= 555000 Unfavorable

What are some of the suggestions that financial expert Beth Kobliner gives to D.Woods regarding controlling spending and increasing savings

Answers

Answer:

Pay yourself first, distinguish between needs and wants, automatic deposit

Explanation:

Some of the suggestions given by financial expert Beth Kobliner to D. Woods are mentioned below:

Pay yourself first

It is the key concept of personal finance. The term does not mean about receiving a paycheck rather it is a money-saving method that simply requires one to save money for long-term and future needs. Examples of such could be depositing money into retirement accounts, buying insurance, or depositing money into a savings account.

Distinguish between needs and wants

Another suggestion by Beth Kobliner was the distinction between needs and wants. As needs are something that one requires to survive while wants are something one can live without. From the financial perspective view, an individual must be able to prioritize between what is needed to sustain life and what can be delayed as it is a luxury.

Automatic deposit

This refers to the payment to the recipient's bank account immediately and without any waiting period. This method is an electronic service and replaces the old-fashioned way of sending paper check mails. With the deletion of the paper check method in exchange for using direct deposits, the risk of wages being stolen is eliminated. This way direct deposits are a simple and flexible solution for employees.

Dée Trader opens a brokerage account and purchases 400 shares of Internet Dreams at $20 per share. She borrows $2,500 from her broker to help pay for the purchase. The interest rate on the loan is 7%. a. What is the margin in Dée’s account when she first purchases the stock?

Answers

Answer: $5500

Explanation:

The margin in Dée’s account when she first purchases the stock will be calculated thus:

First, we calculate the value of the 400 shares which will be:

= 400 × $20

= $8000

Since the borrowed amount is $2500, therefore the margin will be:

= Purchase price - Borrowed amount

= $8000 - $2500

= $5500

Therefore, the margin is $5500

Why do cell phone service providing firms often charge higher price to pre-paid clients than those on contract?​

Answers

Anyina Corporation has an actual profit of $80,000. The break-even point is $500,000 and the variable expenses are 60% of sales. Given this information, the margin of safety, based on actual sales, is:

Answers

Answer:

Margin of safety = $200,000

Explanation:

Given:

Actual profit = $80,000

Break-even point = $500,000

Variable expenses = 60% of sales

Find:

Margin of safety

Computation:

Assume sales = a

So,

Variable expenses = 0.6a

Pv ratio = [(Sales - Variable expenses) / Sales]100

Pv ratio = [(a - 0.6a)/a]100

Pv ratio = 40%

Margin of safety = Profit / Pv ratio

Margin of safety = 80,000 / 40%

Margin of safety = $200,000

Suppose that it costs $400 per day to search for chanterelle mushrooms at Pt. Reyes National Seashore. On an average day, the total weight of mushrooms M found at Pt. Reyes is M=100x-x^2 pounds ,where X is the number of people mushroom hunting on that day. Chanterelles can be sold for $90 per pound. How many more people will go mushroom hunting than is socially optimal?

Answers

Answer: 48

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to solve the marginal product which will be:

= dM/dx

= d(100x - x²)/dx

= 100-2x

At socially optimal level, it should be noted that:

Price × Marginal Product = Cost

90 × (100-2x) = 400

9000 - 1800x = 400

1800x = 9000 - 400

1800x = 8600

x = 8600/180

x = 47.77

x = 48

Therefore, the optimal number of workers will be 48.

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

We create a probability distribution for the play and winning :

Possible winning, X = 0, 7, 20

Probability of winning :

Sum of 2 die rolls ; sample space = 6² = 36

P(winning 0) = (sum ≠ 2,3,5 or 6)/ sample space = 24 / 36 = 2/3

P(winning 20) = (sum = (2 or 3) / Sample space) = 9 / 36 = 1/4

P(winning 7) = (sum = (5or6) / sample space) = 3 / 36 = 1/12

Distribution table :

X _____ 0 _______ 7 _____ 20

P(x) ___ 2/3 _____ 1/4 ____ 1/12

Expected value of the game ; E(X) ;

E(X) = Σx*p(x)

E(X) = (0*2/3) + (7*1/4) + (20*1/12)

E(X) = 0 + 1.75 + 1.6667

E(X) = 3.417

E(X) = 3.42

This means the mean winning after a long play is expected to be $3.42

To know if the game should be paku in the long run : we calculate the payoff

Expected Value - cost of paly

Cost of play = $6

Payoff = 3.42 - 6 = - 2.58

Since, payoff is negative, the game should not be played.

At the beginning of 2004, the Alaska Corporation had 2 million shares of common stock outstanding and no preferred stock. At the end of August, 2004, Alaska issued 600,000 new shares of common stock. If Alaska reported net income equal to $8.8 million, what was the firm's earnings per share for 2004

Answers

Answer:

$4

Explanation:

Earning per share (EPS) refers to earnings available to common shareholders which is divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding equals the original 2 million shares plus 4/12 of the additional 600,000 shares.

The 4/12 weight is used because the new shares were only outstanding 4 months of the year.

Hence,

EPS = $8.8 million / [2 million + (4/12)(600,000)

EPS = $8.8 / $2.2

EPS = $4

Four Seasons Industries has established direct labor performance standards for its maintenance and repair shop. However, some of the labor records were destroyed during a recent fire. The actual hours worked during August were 2,750, and the total direct labor budget variance was $1,430 unfavorable. The standard labor rate was $17.60 per hour, but recent resignations allowed the firm to hire lower-paid replacement workers for some jobs, and this produced a favorable rate variance of $3,850 for August.

Required:
a. Calculate the actual direct labor rate paid per hour during August.
b. Calculate the dollar amount of the direct labor efficiency variance for August.
c. Calculate the standard direct labor hours allowed for the actual level of activity during August.

Answers

Answer:

a. (AR-SR)* Actual hours = Labour rate variance  

Actual rate = (-3,850/2,750) + $17.60

Actual rate = -$1.4 + $17.60

Actual rate = $16.20

b. Direct labour efficiency variance for August = Total direct labour budget variance - Direct labour rate variance

= 1,430 - (-$3,850)

= $5280 Unfavourable

c. Direct Labour efficiency variance = (AH-SH)*SR

5280 = (2,750 - SH) * 17.60

(2,750 - Standard hours) = 5280/17.60

(2,750 - Standard hours) = 300

Standard hours = 2,750 - 300

Standard hours = 2,450
