Answer:

the firm will have a loss of 6.414,97‬

Break-even rate = 11.34%

Explanation:

We calcualte the present value of a lump sum to know the present sale value:

\frac{Nominal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Nominal:  154,000

time               5 years

rate               0.13

\frac{154000}{(1 + 0.13)^{5} } = PV  

PV   83,585.03

the current sale price        83,585.03

given a cost of               <u>   (90,000)      </u>

the firm will have a loss of 6.414,97‬

To break event the present value should be 90,000:

\frac{154000}{(1 + r)^{5} } = 90,000

\sqrt{5}{\frac{154000}{90,000}} -= (1 + r)  

rate = 0.113411345 = 11.34%

A put option on a stock with a current price of $47 has an exercise price of $49. The price of the corresponding call option is
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The answer is 5.559539 or 5.56.

Explanation:

From the given question let us recall the following statements

The current price of A put option on a stock  = $47

With an exercise price of $49

Annual risk-free rate of annual  interest is = 5%

The  corresponding  price call option is = $4.3

The next step is to find the put value

Now,

The Call price + Strike/(1+risk free interest) The Time to maturity =

Spot + Put price

Thus

The,Put price = Call price - Spot + Strike/(1+risk free interest)Time to maturity

When we Substitute the values, we get,

Put price = (4.35 - 47) + 49/1.05 4/12

Therefore, The  Put Price = 5.559539 or 5.56

Consider a firm which produces T-shirts according to Q = L^0.5, where Q denotes output and L is labor input. The domestic wage i
Luden [163]

From the calculation below, the profit-maximizing labor input is 0.0625, and the profit of the firm is 0.125.

<h3>How do we determine profit-maximizing labor input and profit?</h3>

From the question, we can obtain:

R = Revenue = Q*P = L^0.5 * 1 = L^0.5

C = Cost = w * L = 2L

P = Profit = R - C = L^0.5 - 2L

To obtain the profit-maximizing labor input, the first derivative of P is taken, equated to zero, and we solve for L as follows:

P' = 0.5L^-0.5 - 2 = 0

0.5L^-0.5 = 2

L^-0.5 = 2 / 0.5

L^-0.5 = 4

L^(-0.5/-0.5) = 4^(-1/0.5)

L = 0.0625 ----> profit-maximizing labor input

The profit (P) of the firm can now be calculated by substituting L = 0.0625 into the P function as follows:

P =  0.0625^0.5 - (2 * 0.0625) = 0.125 --------> Profit of the firm
