Answer:
The explanation of the terms of the option contract change is below
Explanation:
a. Every call option contract will cover more shares
= 500 × 1.1
= 550
for computing the 1.1 (1 + 10%)
The strike price will be reduced for each share to
= 40 ÷ 1.1
= $36.364
b. Cash dividend would not adjust the terms of the contract but the contract value would decrease if it is an option to call and increase if it is an option to place
c. Each contract call option will cover more shares
= 500 × 4
= 2,000
The strike price will be reduced for each share to 40 ÷ 4
= $10
Answer: $20,000
Explanation:
Net Income is the amount from revenue that the company made over expenses. It is therefore;
= Revenue - Expenses
= 110,000 - 90,000
= $20,000
<em>Note: Dividends are not considered in the calculation of Net Income as they are not expenses. </em>
Answer:
Amount investment in Sock Y = - $126,000
Beta of portfolio = 1.636
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Total amount to be invested = $140,000
Stock X Y
Expected return 14% 10%
Beta 1.42 1.18
Expected return of portfolio = 17.6%
Now,
let the weight invested n stock X be W
therefore,
Weight of Stock Y = 1 - W
thus,
( W × 14% ) + (1 - w) × 10% = 17.6
%
or
14W + 10% - 10W = 17.6%
or
4W = 7.6
or
W = 1.9
Therefore,
weight of Y = 1 - 1.9 = -0.9
Thus,
Amount investment in Sock Y = Total amount to be invested × Weight
= 140,000 × ( - 0.9 )
= - $126,000 i.e short Y
Beta of portfolio = ∑ (Beta × Weight)
= [ 1.42 × 1.9 ] + [ 1.18 × (-0.9) ]
= 2.698 - 1.062
= 1.636
Answer:
The answer is: E) workers in Alzania have higher productivity due to better education and training.
Explanation:
Alzania and its neighbor both produce cotton and they both have the same amount of workers in the production of cotton. If Alzania is able to produce more cotton (or any type of product) using the same amount of resources (in this case labor) than its neighbor, we can conclude that Alzania does have an absolute advantage in that industry.
This absolute advantage exists because Alzania's workers are more productive than their neighbor's workers.
For example, lets say both countries have 5,000 cotton workers. Alzania produces 100 tons of cotton per worker, while its neighbor only produces 80 tons of cotton per worker. That means Alzania's workers are more productive, and labor usually gains productivity through education or training.
