Answer:

correct option is B. -$4.02

Explanation:

given data

delivery price = $40

current stock price = $35

fixed dividend yield = 8% = 0.08

risk free rate = 12% = 0.12

solution

as we know that forward contract is a agreement that is made between 2 parties ( seller or buyer ) asset in future at today fix price in specified time,

we get here long forward contract value that is express as

long forward contract = \frac{stock\ price}{(1+dividend\ rate)^t} -\frac{forward\ rate}{e^{r*t}}    ...................1

put here value we get

long forward contract = \frac{35}{(1+0.08)^{6/12}} -\frac{40}{e^{0.12*6/12}}  

solve it we get

long forward contract = -$4.02

so correct option is B. -$4.02

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

This is an example of quality control

Explanation:

A production process usually involves the action of a variety of things that all perform specific functions towards a common goal, usually the production of a finished good or service. This therefor means that a type of management is needed to ensure that all these aspects are handled in such away that the set organizational needs are met. This can be broadly defined as management control. Management control involves the control and operation aspects of a production process to ensure that the organizational goals are met.

One aspect of management control that is very important in the production environment is quality control. Quality control involves the inspection of the production process and the products to determine the quality. The quality of the process and the products is usually measured against set organizational and production standards. This therefor means that if the process or the production quality falls below the standard, then the quality of the product can be said to be low while if the quality meet or surpass the standards then the quality is high.

Quality control helps companies identify areas that need to be improved, thus raising overall product value.

A company buys a parcel of land on which are erected two buildings. The first building is a 100,000 square-foot warehouse and th
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Land, $65,625 and Garage, $39,375

Explanation:

The allocation would be done using the fair market values as basis. Fair market value is more appropriate as a basis instead of using the sizes of the building and the garage as basis.

Total fair market values = $125,000 + $200,000 + $75,000 = $400,000

Total amount paid for all assets = $210,000

Amount allocated to each asset = \frac{asset's fair market value}{total market value} *total amount paid for all assets

Amount allocated to land = \frac{$125,000}{$400,000} *$210,000

= $65,625

Amount allocated to warehouse = \frac{$200,000}{$400,000} *$210,000

= $105,000

Amount allocated to garage = \frac{$75,000}{$400,000} *$210,000

= $39,375

The total cost of producing a given level of output is:____.
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The total cost of producing a given level of output is:____.

d. minimized when the ratio of marginal product to input price is equal for all inputs.

Explanation:

With the above situation, the marginal cost (input price) = the marginal revenue (marginal product).  The producer can then maximize profit if it can lower its average total cost per unit below the marginal cost for producing one additional unit of its product.  In all cost situations, it is better for the producer to have the total revenue exceeding the total costs, at all times, but more especially with increasing production.
