Answer:

a.) The proportional up movement , u, for the currency can be calculated using the following formula:

u = eStd Dev * Square root of t

u = e0.06*square root of 0.25

u = 1.0305

b.) Probability of up movement, p , = (a - d) / (u - d)

where   a = ert where r = 0.025, t = 0.25

a = e0.025*0.25 = 1.0063

d = 1 / u = 1 / 1.3050 = 0.7663

p = (1.0063-0.7663) / (1.3050-0.7663)

p = 0.46

1-p = 1-0.46 = 0.54

c)  Price of an American Call Option on the currency : we use binomial tree for that , as follows: The amounts below line indicate the option price and figures above line indicate the underlying asset price which is 0.55555

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

equation will be 2x+5

Explanation:

Flat packing fee = $5

As given, the cost of shipping a box is based on its weight in pounds so it is variable

And a flat rate of $5 for packing. This means $5 is common for each parcel that will be sent. Only the weight will vary.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

a. accounts receivable turnover rate is 12 times

b. Average days sales outstanding is 30 days

Explanation:

Computation of accounts receivable turnover rate

The accounts receivable turnover rate is determined by dividing the credit sales with the average receivables.

Credit Sales                     = $ 1,800,000

Average Receivables      = $    150,000

Receivables Turnover rate = $ 1,800,000/ $ 150,000 = 12 times

Computation of Average Days outstanding

Average days outstanding is computed by dividing the annual credit sales by 365 and using that as a divisor with the average receivables

Annual Credit Sales                     = $ 1,800,000

No of days                                                 365

Average daily credit sales  = $ 1,800.000/365 = $ 4,931.50

No of days sales = Average receivables/ Average daily credit sales

= $ 150,000/ $ 4,931.5 = 30.4 days rounded to 30 days
