The common stock of the P.U.T.T. Corporation has been trading in a narrow price range for the past month, and you are convinced

it is going to break far out of that range in the next 3 months. You do not know whether it will go up or down, however. The current price of the stock is $120 per share, and the price of a 3-month call option at an exercise price of $120 is $8.89. a. If the risk-free interest rate is 8% per year, what must be the price of a 3-month put option on P.U.T.T. stock at an exercise price of $120? (The stock pays no dividends.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. A straddle would be a simple options strategy to exploit your conviction about the stock price’s future movements. How far would it have to move in either direction for you to make a profit on your initial investment? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

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

A firm currently produces 3,500 units of output per week. After an additional worker is hired, output rises to 3,750 units per w
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

C. $2

Explanation:

The marginal cost is the cost for producing an additional unit of the product. According to this and as the statement says that with the additional worker the output rises to 3,750, teh first thing is to find the number of additional units that were produced:

3,750-3500= 250

With the new worker, the firm produces an additional 250 units that cost $500 because this is the salary of the new worker and to calculate the cost of one additional unit you have to do the following:

250 units ⇒ $500

     1 unit  ⇒      x

x=( 1*500)/250= 2

The firm's short-run marginal cost is $2.
