Answer:

A: $127.2

B: $123.384, $3.816 per share and $3,816 per contract

C: 9.43%

Explanation:

A: Futures price

F° = S° (1 + rₙ) = $120 x 1.06

= $127.20

B: Change in Future Price and Investor Margin account:

New Spot = $120 (1 – 0.03)

= $120 x 0.97

= $116.40

New Futures = $116.40 (1.06)

= $123.384

The long investor loses = $127.20 - $123.384

= $3.816 per share

or $3.816 (1,000) = $3,816 per contract

C: Percentage return on the investor’s position:

Percentage return = $12,000 / $127,200

= 9.43%

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (5.9 - 5.65)*26,600

Direct material price variance= $6,650 favorable

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

What is the maximum amount a firm should pay for a project that will return $15,000 annually for 5 years if the opportunity cost
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The firm should pay $46907.57 for the given project.

Explanation:

Given information:

Return = $15000 annually

Time = 5 years

Opportunity cost = 18%

The formula for payment is

PV=R(\frac{1}{OC}-\frac{1}{OC(1+OC)^t})

where, R is return, OC is opportunity cost, t is time in years.

Substitute R=15000, t=5 and OC=0.18 in the above formula.

PV=15000(\frac{1}{0.18}-\frac{1}{0.18(1+0.18)^5})

PV=46907.5653141

PV\approx 46907.57

Therefore the firm should pay $46907.57 for the given project.
