Which of the following is a lower bound for the option such that there are arbitrage opportunities if the price is below the lower bound and no arbitrage opportunities if it is above the lower bound?
A. $5.00
B. $5.98
C. $4.98
D. $3.98
E. $5.34

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B. $5.98

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the lower bound for the option

Using this formula

Lower Bound =Stock Price -Strike Price*e^(-rt)

Where,

Time years =1

Stock Price =$30

Strike Price =$25

Let Plug in the formula

Lower Bound=$30-$25*e^(-4%*1)

Lower Bound =5.98

Therefore the lower bound for the option is 5.98

The discount rate used to calculate the net present value of a capital budgeting project should be: a. The risk-free rate. b. The weighted average cost of capital. c. LIBOR. d. The internal rate of return.

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Capital budgeting is the determination of the profitability of proposed investments

One of the capital budgeting methods is the net present value

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

the Weighted cost of capital is used to determine NPV

WACC = weight of equity x cost of equity + weight of debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate)

It is the minimum rate of return a company expects from a project

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested. It is a captial budgeting method

MAD Inc. has a capital structure consisting of 40 percent debt and 60 percent common equity financing. The company has $400 million in net income and plans to pay out 25 percent of their earnings as dividends. What is the maximum amount of new financing that the company can raise without selling new common stock

Answers

Answer:

$500 million

Explanation:

Retained earnings = Income * (1 - Dividend payout percentage)

Retained earnings = $400 million * (1-0.25)

Retained earnings = $400 million * 0.75

Retained earnings = $300 million

Amount that can be raise without selling new stock: Retained earnings / % of equity financing in total capital

= $300 million / 60%

= $300 million / 0.60

= $500 million

You enter into a short crude oil futures contract at $43 per barrel. The initial margin is $3,375 and the maintenence margin is $2,500. One contract is for 1,000 barrels of oil. By how much do oil prices have to change before you receive a margin call

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is "43.875". A further explanation is provided below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Initial margin,

= $3,375

Maintenance margin,

= $2,500

Barrels of oil,

= 1,000

Now,

The loss on the position will be:

= [tex]3375-2500[/tex]

= [tex]875[/tex] ($)

then,

⇒  [tex]1000 (P - 43) = 875[/tex]

⇒  [tex]1000P-43000=875[/tex]

On adding "43000" both sides, we get

⇒  [tex]1000P-43000+43000=875+43000[/tex]

⇒                             [tex]1000P=43875[/tex]

a. the increases in wheat harvested will get larger and larger.
b. average total cost will fall to zero.
c. the increases in wheat harvested will rise at a constant rate.
d. the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.

Answers

Answer:

d. the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.

Explanation:

A marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) can be defined as an economic principle which is typically used to represent the rate at which a factor such as capital must decrease so that the same level or quantity of production is maintained when another factor such as labor is changed (increased).

An isoquant is the slope of a marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) which connects the two input factors provided that the level of output or production is the same.

Also, the diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution refers to the decline (fall) in marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) along an isoquant that produces the same quantity (level) of output.

When an isoquant has a diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution, the corresponding isoquants are convex to the origin. Thus, the marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) would continue to diminish as more of a factor such as capital is used.

The amount of suspended losses carried forward to the year of the sale is $fill in the blank 1 20,000 . b. What amount of the suspended losses is allocated to Activity D

Answers

Answer:

      a. -$20,000

      b. -$2,000

Explanation:

a. The amount of suspended losses carried forward to the year:

= 30,000 + (-30,000) + (-15,000) + (-5,000)

= -$20,000

b. Suspended losses allocated to Activity D:

First find the total amount of losses:

= -30,000 - 15,000 - 5,000

= -$50,000

Activity B accounted for -$5,000 of this loss.

Suspended losses to be allocated to D would therefore be:

= -5,000 / - 50,000 * -20,000

= -$2,000

The items that can be considered as both the short, as well as, long-term investments would be:

A). CDs

B). Stocks

C). Mutual funds

E). Commodities

A CD or Certificate of Deposit(CD) is characterized as both the 'short, as well as, long-term' investment because it provides interest and offers a lump-sum on its maturity. Stocks are also such an investment as it offers both intra-day trade and long-term holding options as well. Mutual funds are also a good option for generating both regular incomes in the short-term and big capital gain over a time period. Commodities like gold, crude oil, etc. also offer such an option as it is the item whose price keeps growing and thereby providing an opportunity to earn.

Thus, options A, B, C, and E are the correct answers.

Assume that Saudi Arabia has production possibilities to produce either 100 barrels of oil using 100 worker hours or 25 bushels of corn using 100 worker hours. If it decides to produce 60 barrels of oil, how many bushels of corn can it produce

Answers

Answer: 10 bushels

Explanation:

If they produce 100 barrels of oil using 100 worker hours, it means that the number of work hours taken for 1 barrel is:

= 100 / 100

= 1 work hour

For bushels however, 1 worker hour produces:

= 25 / 100

= 0.25 bushels of corn

If 60 barrels of oil are produced, it means 60 worker hours were used which would leave 40 worker hours.

Bushels of corn produced is therefore:

= 40 * 0.25

= 10 bushels

Braden and Sons, Inc., paid cash to purchase equipment costing $342,000 this year. Also this year, the company sold for $70,000 cash equipment that originally cost $230,000 5 years ago. How should these transactions be listed in the statement of cash flows

Answers

Answer:

The purchases and the sales of equipment must be shown separately as a decrease to cash for $342,000 (purchase) and an increase of $70,000 (sale).

Explanation:

Since the cash is paid for purchased an equipment so the same should be shown in the investing activities as the cash outflow and the company sold $70,000 cash equipment so this also to be shown as the investing activities as the cash inflow

Therefore the last option is correct

In listing these transactions in the Statement of Cash Flows, the proper thing to do is: The purchases and the sales of equipment must be shown separately as a decrease to cash for $342,000 (purchase) and an increase of $70,000 (sale).

The Statement of Cashflows:

Shows the cash transactions of a company Can only show transactions involving actual cash

The amount that was used to purchase equipment was in cash so this will reduce the amount of cash that the company has.

The cash received from the sale of the equipment will be an increase in the company's cash. The previous price of the equipment is irrelevant because it does not involve cash.

In conclusion, the cash made should be added and the cash spent should be deducted.

Answers

Answer: elastic

Explanation:

The price elasticity of supply will be:

The percentage change in price will be:

= (1.50 - 0.50)/0.50 x 100

= 1.00/0.50 × 100

= 200

The percentage change in quantity will be:

= (4 -2)/2 x 100

= 2/2 × 100

= 100

Elasticity = % change in quantity/% Change in Price = 200/100 = 2

Since elasticity = 2, this indicates supply is elastic as it's greater than 1.

A company projects an increase in net income of $135,000 each year for the next five years if it invests $900,000 in new equipment. The equipment has a five-year life and an estimated salvage value of $300,000. What is the annual rate of return on this investment

Explanation:

The computation of the annual rate of return is shown below:

Average investment is

= ($900,000 + $300,000) ÷ 2

= $600,000

Answers

Answer: 1.95

Explanation:

The beta for the other stock in the portfolio will be calculated thus:

Portfolio Beta = (BetaA × WeightA) + (BetaB × WeightB) + (BetaC × WeightC)

= (BetaA × 1/3) + (1.05 × 1/3) + (0 × 1/3)

= (BetaA × 1/3) + 0.35 + 0

Beta A = 1-0.35 × 3

Beta A = 0.65 × 3
