The value of a European call option on the stock with strike k=102k=102 is: 2.03529 and the amount of dollar to invest in the cash account is $28.694

<h3>European call option</h3>

Given:

R=1.02

S0 = 100

u=1/d= 1.05

Strike(k) = 102

First step

Upside Price = u × S0

Upside Price = 1.05 × 100

Upside Price = 105

Downside Price = S0/u

Downside Price= 100×1/1.05

Downside Price= 95.238

Upside Payoff = upside price - strike rate

Upside Payoff =(105 - 102)

Upside Payoff = 3

Second step

Upside probability=(r - q) / u - d

Upside probability=1.02- (1/1.05)÷ 1.05- (1/1.05)

Upside probability=0.0676190/0.0976190

Upside probability=0.692

Probability of downside = 1 - p(upside)

Probability of downside = 1 - 0.692

Probability of downside = 0.30731722

Third step

European call option=[0.692×3+0.30731722×0]×1/100

European call option=2.03529

Let B represent the Dollar to invest

105D -1.05B=3

95.238D-1.02B=0

Solving for B

B=$28.694

Therefore the value of a European call option on the stock with strike k=102k=102 is: 2.03529 and the amount of dollar to invest in the cash account is $28.694

Air Destinations issues bonds due in 10 years with a stated interest rate of 11% and a face value of $500,000. Interest payments

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: $471,324.61

Explanation:

Price of a bond = Present value of coupon payments + Present value of face value at maturity

Coupon payments = 500,000 * 11% * 1/2 years = $27,500

Periodic yield = 12%/ 2 = 6% per semi annual period

Periods = 10 * 2 = 20 semi annual periods

Coupon payment is constant so it is an annuity.

Price of bond = Present value of annuity + Present value of face value at maturity

= (Annuity * Present value interest factor of Annuity, 6%, 20 years) + Face value / (1 + rate) ^ number of periods

= (27,500 * 11.4699) + 500,000 / (1 + 6%)²⁰

= $471,324.61

Q 7.40: Approximately 85% of the customers at Hanson’s Furniture Store purchase furniture using store credit. The store’s averag

ziro4ka [17]

Answer: Offer incentives to Customers to reduce Collection time.

Explanation:

Hanson’s Furniture Store should work to reduce the amount of time it takes to collect payments from customers. It takes them over 2 months to collect payments on average and compared to a payables payment in 30 days that's quite troublesome.

They should therefore work to reduce their Receivables Collection time.

One way they can do that is to offer incentives such as trade discounts. A popular one would be the 2/10, net 30 rule. This means that the customer would get a 2% discount if they pay in 10 days or else they will pay the full amount in 30 days. This incentive can go a long way in reducing Payables collection periods.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

Bracelet A, Bracelet B

Total fixed cost = $15,000 $12,400

Total variable cost = $65 $77

Total Avoidable cost = $8,829 $6,941

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

For Bracelet A

Cost of material = $29

Cost of labor = 36

Advertising cost = 8,800

Annual depreciation = 6,200

For Bracelet B

Cost of material = $41

Cost of labor = 36

Advertising cost = 6,900

Annual depreciation = 5,500

So, Fixed cost for each products = Advertising cost + Annual depreciation

For Bracelet A,

Fixed Cost = 8,800 + 6,200 = 15,000

For bracelet B,

Fixed cost = 6,900 + 5,500 = 12,400

Now, Variable cost = Cost of material + Cost of labor

For Bracelet A

Variable cost = 29 + 36 = 65

For Bracelet B

Variable cost = 41 + 36 = 77

And Avoidable cost = Cost of material + Advertising cost

For Bracelet A,

Avoidable cost = 29 + 8,800 = 8,829

For Bracelet B

Avoidable cost = 41 + 6,900 = 6,941
