Answer:

The initial margin is $5,950

Explanation:

To calculate for the initial margin, we have to decide from two options. After making the calculations, the initial margin would be the one with a greater outcome.

Given:

Option price = $3.50

Strike price = $60

Stock price = $57

Stock price - Strike price = $60- $57 = $3

Option 1:

500 * [(3.5 + 0.2)*(57-3)

= $5,950

Option 2:

500 * (3.5 + 0.1 * 57)

= $4,600

Since we got $5,950 in our first calculation, we will take that as our initial margin as it is greater than the second option. It can be provided in part with initial sum of $500 * 3 = $1,750

levacccp [35]

Answer:

$1,305,600

Explanation:

Date of acquisition = Jan, 1 2016

Cost of purchase = $1,904,000

Initial useful life - 15 years

Initial amortization - 1904000/14

= $126,933

Date of review of amortization policy -2019

Accumulated amortization before 2019 -126,933.33*3=380800

Remaining useful years at December 2019 7

Amortization in 2019 =1904000-380800/7 =217,600

Carrying value at December 2019 = 1904000 - (380800 +217600) =1305600 Please note that change in amortization policy can only be applied progressively and not retrospectively

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

$11.60

Explanation:

In ascertaining the parity price of the common stock, we need to ascertain the conversion ratio which is the par price of the preferred stock divided by the convertible price

The par value of the preferred stock=$100(since call price is $110)

convertible price=$10

conversion ratio=$100/$10=10

The parity price is the current market price of the preferred stock divided by the conversion ratio

Parity price=$116/10

Parity price=$11.60

Shawn starts a business called valuecentral.com, the concept takes off, and the company has an ipo and goes public. the company
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
In such a case Shawn's company cannot and should not give out a dividend.

Since the company has just raised money, is growing and profitable and it is becoming hard to keep up with demand, this is the best time for the company to reinvest its profits to:

1. Hire more people/Buy more product

2. Improve processes

3. Use the profits to invest in R&D

4. Use the profits to invest in marketing and promotion

5. Invest in providing better customer service

So no dividend should be given since it can hamper the growth of a young company. The money should be used to grow the company for now and in the future all shareholders can enjoy good dividends.
