Alice and Bob entered into a forward contract some time ago. Alice has the long position, while Bob has the short position. The forward contract will mature in three months and has a delivery price of $40. The current forward price for the contract is $42. The three-month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) is 8%. What is the value Bob's position?
Answer:
$ - 1.96
Explanation:
After three months, Alice (long the contract) can buy the underlying by paying the delivery price of $40 which is $2 less than $42 the long position would have to pay if the contract was entered today.
DATA
Delivery price = $40
The three-month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) =8%.
The current forward price = $42
Solution
So based on the present situation, Alice would be in $2 profit at the end of 3 months and Bob would be in $2 loss
Present value of Bob's loss (with continuous compounding) = 2\times e^{-0.08\times 0.25}
Present value of Bob's loss (with continuous compounding) = $1.96
The value of Bob's position is $ - 1.96
Which of the following best defines a financial intermediary? a claim by a buyer to a future payment by a seller a collection of stocks and bonds issued to investors a financial institution that transforms investor funds into financial assets an asset sold by a company which entitles the buyer to partial ownership
Answer:
Option C (A financial.......assets) is the correct choice.
Explanation:
A financial intermediary seems to be an entity that serves as an intermediary seen between the listing agent as well as the buyer's transactions. They help convert investment properties, swap properties between producers and consumers, respectively. Therefore, a financial intermediary would be a finance company that converts capital instruments into investment capital.Other decisions are given aren't connected to the results provided. So that is indeed the safest decision.
Apply What You’ve Learned - Managing Credit Cards and ConsumerLoans
Scenario: You are 30 years old, married, have two children, and household income (take-home pay) of$3,500 per month. Your credit and consumer debt is as follows:_______.
• Car loan, 6% interest rate, $10,000 balance, $295 per month
• Department store card, 28% interest rate, $600 balance, minimum payment 5% of balance
• Discover Card, 12% interest rate, $2,000 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• VISA Card, 13% interest rate, $3,000 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• MasterCard 1, 14% interest rate, $4,000 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• MasterCard 2, 14% interest rate, $0 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• Gasoline card, 21% interest rate, $300 balance, minimum payment 5% of balance
Assume all credit cards will assess a $35 late fee and ongoing penalty interest of 8% above the currentrate if you miss a payment. Your recent VISA card statement came with a blank cash advance check(for up to $10,000) with terms of 23.99% APR and a fee of 3% if you use it. Your recent MasterCard 2statement came with a balance transfer oFer (up to $4,000) with no fee and 0% APR for 12 months,after which the normal interest rate applies. You recently found an incorrect amount charged on yourVISA card from a store you frequent often. You’d like to come up with a plan to eliminate all of yourcredit card debt.
In general, is it a good idea to make only minimum payments on your credit cards?
Yes, you can invest the money saved each month to earn interest.
No, it will cause your interest rate to go up.
No, the small payment requirement is mathematically guaranteed to keep you in debt for manyyears.
Yes, this allows you more ±exibility in your cash budget.
Assuming you have $1,500 in your budget this month with which to pay down your credit cards, howmuch should you pay on each card?

Answer:
1) In general, is it a good idea to make only minimum payments on your credit cards?
No, the small payment requirement is mathematically guaranteed to keep you in debt for many years.All you have to do is analyze the interest rates charged by the credit card companies and it is really difficult for any investment to match those interest rates.
2) Assuming you have $1,500 in your budget this month with which to pay down your credit cards, how much should you pay on each card?
I would start with the cards that charge the highest interest rates. I would pay the full balance of the department store card and the gasoline card = $600 + $300 = $900
Since I have $600 left, I would then pay the minimum payments for the cards that charge the least interest rates. I would pay $40 to Discover card and $60 to VISA.
The remaining $500 would be used to pay MasterCard 1 card and lower its balance.
It is important that marketers be able to identify which strategy a competitor is using so that they better understand how to position their own products and services. You will see a list of recent or potential strategic decisions made by large firms, and your job is to identify which type of strategy was used in each example.
While there are a variety of strategies across industries, most fall under four basic categories.
1. Market penetration strategies emphasize selling more existing products and services to existing customers.
2. Product development strategies involve creating new goods or services for existing markets.
3. Market development strategies focus on selling existing products or services to new customers. The targeted new customers could be a different gender, age group, or international market.
4. Finally, diversification strategies involve offering new products that are unrelated to the existing products produced by the organization.
Select the most appropriate category of emotional intelligence for below mention behaviors.
i. Arm and Hammer selling baking soda for new purposes.
a. Market penetration
b. Product development
c. Market development
d. Diversification
ii. Apple opening mini-stores within Target
a. Market penetration
b. Product development
c. Market development
d. Diversification
iii. Disney purchasing ESPN
a. Market penetration
b. Product development
c. Market development
d. Diversification
Answer:
1. Market development
2. Market penetration
3. Diversification
Explanation:
we have already been given a definition of these concepts from question
1.
for Ann and hammer: it is market development because they are trying to create a product for new purposes
2.
for apple: since they are opening mini stores within target they are trying to have an expansion approach where more products and services would be sold to their customers.
3.
for disney: they are diversifying into a new product entirely. ESPN is a well known channel for sporting related activities.
A check register shows a balance of $152.34. The bank statement shows that a check for $75.00 deposited by the account owner was drawn against insufficient funds and was returned. A charge for $2.00 was also deducted by the bank because of the return. Compute the adjusted cash balance of the check register.
Answer:
$150.34
Explanation:
The $75 check has been drawn against insufficient funds and has been returned so this check won't be included in the adjusted cash balance of the check register.
A charge for $2.0 will be deducted from the balance shown by the cash register above to calculate the adjusted cash balance of the check register.
Adjusted cash balance of the check register = $152.34 - $2
Adjusted cash balance of the check register = $150.34
Robert needs his daily fix of coffee in the mid-afternoon and visits different coffee shops that will give him as much utility as possible, given his $20/month food budget. On Monday, the Blue Coffee Shop was selling espresso shots for $3 each and Robert added 3 shots to his cappuccino. By Friday, the Purple Coffee Shop offered espresso shots for $2 each, while all other prices remained the same, so Robert was bold and added 4 espresso shots to his hot beverage.
Required:
Given this information, plot Robert's demand curve for espresso shots.
Answer:
I drew Robert's demand curve for espresso shots assuming that it was a linear curve since the information contained in the question is limited to that.
A demand curve generally is downward sloping, since an increase in price will usually result in a higher quantity demanded (at least for normal goods).

At January 1, 2021, Cafe Med leased restaurant equipment from Crescent Corporation under a nine-year lease agreement. The lease agreement specifies annual payments of $29,000 beginning January 1, 2021, the beginning of the lease, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2028. The equipment was acquired recently by Crescent at a cost of $207,000 (its fair value) and was expected to have a useful life of 13 years with no salvage value at the end of its life. (Because the lease term is only 9 years, the asset does have an expected residual value at the end of the lease term of $94,113.) Crescent seeks a 12% return on its lease investments. By this arrangement, the lease is deemed to be an operating lease.
Required:
a. What will be the effect of the lease on Cafe Med's earnings for the first year (ignore taxes)?
b. What will be the balances in the balance sheet accounts related to the lease at the end of the first year for Café Med (ignore taxes)?
Answer:
Café Med
a. Café Med's earnings for the first year will be reduced by $58,000 (Operating lease expense for January 1 and December 31, 2021).
b. In Café Med's Balance Sheet, at the end of the first year, there will be a liability balance or Lease Expense Payable of $29,000 for the balance due to be paid on December 31, 2021.
Explanation:
Lease annual payments = $29,000
First payment date = January 1, 2021
Subsequent payment dates = December 31, 2021 to 2028.
Period of lease agreement = 9 years < 75% (9/13)
Cost of equipment to Crescent = $207,000
Lifespan of equipment = 13 years
Residual value at end of the lease term = $94,113
b) Café Med will recognize this lease arrangement as an operating lease. This is based on periodic rental payment on a straight-line basis, which is recorded as an operating lease expense. The liability arising will be for unpaid rentals at the end of the accounting period.
Alpha Inc. has receivables from unrelated parties with a face value of $5,000. It transfers these receivables to bank for $4,500, without recourse. It will continue to collect the receivables, depositing them in a non-interest-bearing bank account with the cash flows remitted to the bank at the end of each month. It is not allowed to sell or pledge the receivables to anyone else and is under no obligation to repurchase the receivables from bank. Which of the following is the appropriate treatment for these Accounts receivables?
A) It should show these receivables in its Balance Sheet.
B) It should amortize these receivables.
C) It should derecognize these receivables.
D) It should derecognize these receivables if it retains the interest earned on these.
Answer:
C). It should derecognize these receivables.
Explanation:
Derecognition is characterized as the process of removing or derecognizing a financial asset or liability from the company's balance sheet that was previously acknowledged. In the given situation, the appropriate treatment for the Account receivables would be to dercognize it as the organization does not possess any control over them. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
Mcmurtry Corporation sells a product for $250 per unit. The product's current sales are 13,600 units and its break-even sales are 10,608 units. The margin of safety as a percentage of sales is closest to:
Answer:
22%
Explanation:
Margin of Safety is the amount by which sales can fall before making a loss.
Margin of Safety = Expected Sales - Break-even Sales ÷ Expected Sales
= (13,600 - 10,608) ÷ 13,600
= 0.22 or 22%

Pham can work as many or as few hours as she wants at the college bookstore for $12 per hour. But due to her hectic schedule, she has just 15 hours per week that she can spend working at either the bookstore or other potential jobs. One potential job, at a café, will pay her $15 per hour for up to 6 hours per week. She has another job offer at a garage that will pay her $13 an hour for up to 5 hours per week. And she has a potential job at a daycare center that will pay her $11.50 per hour for as many hours as she can work.
If her goal is to maximize the amount of money she can make each week, how many hours will she work at the bookstore?
Answer:
4 hours
Explanation:
For Pham to maximize her income, she must consider the jobs with the highest per-hour earnings first. She has 15 hours to work. Her priorities should be as below.
Work at the cafe for 6 hours for $15 per hourWork at the garage for 5 hours for $13 per hourWork at the books store for 4 hours for $12 per hourA total of 15 hours. Pham can work at the book store for 4 hours per week to maximize her income.
Pham will have to work 4 hour per week at the bookstore to maximize her pay.
Given data
Total number of hours available per week = 15 hours
Cafe will pay her $15 per hour up to 6 hoursGarage offers $13 per hour up to 5 hoursDycare Centre offers $11.50 per hours for as long as she can workOut of the potential job, only the cafe and garage centre pay is more than the pay of bookstore
Hence, in order to maximize the amount of money, Pham have to devote 6 hours at the cafe, 5 hours at the garage centre and remaining 4 hours at bookstore,
In this way, the amount of money she will receives will be at maximum.
Working at Cafe she will make $15 * 6 = $90 Working at Garage centre she will make $13 * 5 = $65Working at Bookstore she will make $12*4 = $48Total amount she will earn = $90 + $65 + $48
Total amount she will earn = $203
Therefore, Pham will have to work 4 hour per week at the bookstore to maximize her pay.

A deposit of $10,000 is made a year from now, a second deposit of $10,000 is made at the end of the year 5, and a deposit of $3000 is made at the end of year 8. The account earns 6% interest. You want to withdraw an equal amount, X at the end of each year for the next 10 years. What is the amount of X if the goal is to empty the account
Answer:
$4068.77
Explanation:
We calculate the Future value of all the three deposits at the end of year 8
FV = CF1 *(1+r)^8-1 + CF5*(1+r)^8-5 + CF8 * (1+r)^8-8
FV = 10000 *(1+0.06)^7 + 10000*(1+0.06)^3 + 3000 * (1+0.06)^0
FV = 15,036.30 + 11,910.16 + 3,000
FV= $29,946.46
We have to calculate the annuity payments that have a Present value = $29,946.46
PV = PMT * 1-(1+r)^-n / r
PV = 29,946.46, PMT= ?, r = 6%, n = 10
29,946.46 = PMT * 1-(1+0.06)^-10 / 0.06
29,946.46 = PMT * 1 - 1.06^-10 / 0.06
29,946.46 = PMT * 1 - 0.558395 / 0.06
29,946.46 = PMT * 0.441605 / 0.06
29,946.46 = PMT * 7.36008
PMT = 29,946.46/7.36008
PMT = 4068.768274257889
PMT = $4068.77
Thus, amount of X is $4068.77 if the goal is to empty the account.
Last month Empire Company had a $35,280 profit on sales of $287,000. Fixed costs are $68,040 a month. By how much would sales be able to decrease for Empire to still break even
Answer:
sales might decrease by $287,000 - $189,000 = $98,000 and the company will still break even
Explanation:
gross profit = net income + fixed costs = $35,280 + $68,040 = $103,320
COGS = total sales - gross profit = $287,000 - $103,320 = $183,680
contribution margin ratio = $103,320 / $287,000 = 36%
break even point in $ = $68,040 / 36% = $189,000
sales might decrease by $287,000 - $189,000 = $98,000 and the company will still break even

What is a sum of money that is borrowed and is expected to be paid back with interest?
A Corporation has two divisions: the South Division and the West Division. The corporation's net operating income is $26,900. The South Division's divisional segment margin is $42,800 and the West Division's divisional segment margin is $29,900. What is the amount of the common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions
Answer:
$45,800
Explanation:
Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = South division's divisional segment margin + west division's divisional segment - corporation's net operating income
Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = $42,800 + $29,900 - $26,900
Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = $45,800

what has the U.S customs created to force importing companies like wal-mart to provide more detailed information about
Answer: The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT)
Explanation:
The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) is a partnership program between the public and private sector created by the US Customs to improve border and cargo security.
When a firm like Wal-Mart becomes a member of the CTPAT, the likelihood of their goods being examined at a port of entry falls but this is because of the oversight requirements imposed on the firms such as ensuring the members provide detailed information about their suppliers and transportation companies.

Demarco and Janine Jackson have been married for 20 years and have four children who qualify as their dependents (Damarcus, Janine, Michael, and Candice). The couple received salary income of $100,000 and qualified business income of $10,000 from an investment in a partnership, and they sold their home this year. They initially purchased the home three years ago for $200,000 and they sold it for $250,000. The gain on the sale qualified for the exclusion from the sale of a principal residence. The Jacksons incurred $16,500 of itemized deductions, and they had $3,550 withheld from their paychecks for federal taxes. They are also allowed to claim a child tax credit for each of their children. However, because Candice is 18 years of age, the Jacksons may only claim the child tax credit for other qualifying dependents for Candice. (Use the tax rate schedules.)
Comprehensive Problem 4-55 Parts-c through f
a. What would their taxable income be if their itemized deductions totaled $28,000 instead of $16,500?
b. What would their taxable income be if they had $0 itemized deductions and $6,000 of for AGI deductions?
c. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons also incurred a loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets. What effect does the $5,000 loss have on their taxable income?
Answer:
a. Taxable income = $80,000
b. Taxable income = $77,600
c. Taxable income = $80,600
Explanation:
Taxable income refers to the amount of income that is used to determine the amount of tax that will be paid to the government by an individual or firm in given year. The taxable income is arrived at after all the relevant addition and allowable deductions have been made.
The requirements are therefore answered as follows:
a. What would their taxable income be if their itemized deductions totaled $28,000 instead of $16,500?
Note: See part a of the attached excel file see the effect on taxable income.
The itemized deductions total of $28,000 instead of $16,500 makes the taxable income to be $80,000.
In the attached excel file, the following calculations is used:
Qualified business income deduction = Qualified business income * Parentage of deduction allowed = $10,000 * 20% = $2,000
b. What would their taxable income be if they had $0 itemized deductions and $6,000 of for AGI deductions?
Note: See part b of the attached excel file for the calculations of the taxable income.
This makes the taxable income to be equal to $77,600.
c. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons also incurred a loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets. What effect does the $5,000 loss have on their taxable income?
Note: See part c of the attached excel file for the calculations of the taxable income.
The loss of loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets incurred by the Jacksons is capital loss.
For tax purposes, capital loss of can be deducted as a loss on tax return by tax payers with a maximum of $3,000 to be deducted per year.
Therefore, the Jacksons will deduct $3,000 as a capital loss from their tax return, and the effect of this is to reduce the taxable income by $3,000.
This makes the taxable income to be equal to $80,600.

You are invested in two hedge funds. The probability that hedge fund Alpha generates positive returns in any given year is 60%. The probability that hedge fund Omega generates positive returns in any given year is 70%. Assume the returns are independent. What is the probability that both funds generate positive returns in a given year? What is the probability that both funds lose money?
Answer:
42% and 12%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For Alpha Fund
Positive return = 60%
Lose money is
= 1 - 0.60
= 40%
For Omega Fund
Positive return = 70%
Lose money is
= 1 - 0.70
= 0.30
Also the returns are non-dependent
Now the positive return is
= 60% × 70
= 42%
And, the probability of lose money is
= 40% × 30%
= 12%
