Answer:
A) according to put call parity:
price of put option = call option - stock price + [future value / (1 + risk free rate)ⁿ]
put = $8.89 - $120 + [$120 / (1 + 8%)¹/⁴] = $8.89 - $120 +$117.71 = $6.60
B) you have to purchase both a put and call option ⇒ straddle
the total cost of the investment = $8.89 + $6.60 = $15.496, this way you can make a profit if the stock price increases higher than $120 + $6.60 = $126.60 or decreases below than $120 - $6.60 = $113.40
Answer:
(a) His AGI is $103,300.
$2,000 since only one of your daughters qualifies for the child tax credit (must be under 17 at year end).
(b) His AGI is $426,200.
$2,000 - (27 x $50) = $2,000 - $1,350 = $650
For 2018, the income threshold to qualify for the child tax credit increased to $400,000, and it starts to fade away up to $440,000. It phases out $50 per each $1,000 of additional AGI.
(c) His AGI is $428,900, and his daughters are ages 10 and 12.
($2,000 x 2 children) - (29 x $50 x 2 children) = $4,000 - $2,900 = $1,100
Answer: B. There are two IRRs so you cannot use the IRR as a criterion for accepting the opportunity.
Explanation:
The Internal Rate of Return can be useful in capital budgeting to enable a company know if an investment will be profitable. It is defined as the discount rate that causes the Net Present Value(NPV) to be zero. If the IRR is greater than the required return then the project should be accepted as it will have a profitable NPV.
IRR has some problems however and one of them is reflected here. There can sometimes be two IRRs and when this happens, using IRR as a viability measure cannot be done because a single rate is needed for comparison with the required return.
Answer:
12.085 %
Explanation:
WACC = Cost of Equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Preference Stock x Weight of Preference Stock + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt
Remember to use the after tax cost of debt :
after tax cost of debt = interest x ( 1 - tax rate)
= 8.00 % x (1 - 0.35)
= 5.20 %
therefore,
WACC = 22.00 % x 0.40 + 8.50 % x 0.05 + 5.20 % x 0.55
= 12.085 %
thus
the firm's WACC given a tax rate of 35 percent is 12.085 %
