Answer:

A. the risk of wind damage is potentially diversifiable, but the risk of flooding is not

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described it can be said that the best explanation for these different approaches would be that the risk of wind damage is potentially diversifiable, but the risk of flooding is not. Meaning that  most insurance companies cover wind damage because it is most likely during a hurricane but flooding may be a unique situation which is not always covered by most insurance companies/policies.

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

the  contribution made to the production of 200 autos and 200 trucks is $9,000,000

Consider the elements of cost in Geordie Ltd, namely, the cost of a product, the cost of direct labour and the cost of non-labou
tangare [24]

Answer:

$73.58

Explanation:

Total cost of product = $120

Total cost of product = Cost of material + Direct labor + Overhead

Cost of material = (3 * direct labor) - $6

Overhead = ¾ of Direct labor

Total cost of product = 3DL - $6 + DL + ¾ of DL

$120 = 3DL - $6 + DL + 0.75 DL

$126 = 4.75 DL

Direct Labor = 126/4.75

Direct Labor = $26.53

 

Material cost = 3 * $26.53 - $6

Material cost = $73.58

An investor owns 5,000 shares of IBM stock, $105 per share. He thinks that there is no large rise and possible drop in price. Th
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

If IBM stock price rises from $105 to $112, the profit associated with the passive strategy is $ 35,000 and the profit associated with the covered call writing strategy is $ 45,000 .

Explanation:

Shares = 5000

Price of shares = $105

Sell Price = $112

The profit associated with the passive strategy  = $(112 - 105) × 5000

= $ 35,000

Now with covered call also included in the strategy the profit/loss from covered call can be calculated as

Strike Price = $110

Spot Price = $112

Total Shares on which Call options are sold = 50 × 100 = $5000

Total Premium received = 5000 × 4 = $20000

(Spot Price - Strike Price ) × Total Shares

= $(112 - 110) × 5000

= $10,000

Hence Net Profit = Premium received - $10,000 = $20,000 - $10,000

= $ 10000

Hence the profit associated with the covered call writing strategy

= $35,000 + $10,000

= $ 45,000
