The common stock of the C.A.L.L. Corporation has been trading in a narrow range around $145 per share for months, and you believ

user100 [1]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

a) Let us calculate the value of call using Put-Call Parity,

i.e. Put + Stock = Call + Present Value of Exercise Price (note that it is 6 - months time period)

$\text { i.e. } 8.19+145=\mathrm{call}+145 / 1.09^{\wedge} 0.5$

$\text { i.e. } 8.19+145=\mathrm{call}+145 / 1.044$

Therefore, Call = $ 14.31

b1) The option strategy best suited in the given condition is - Short or Sell Straddle.

In shorting a straddle, you simultaneously sell a call and a put, thereby earning premium in both the legs of the strategy. It is a neutral options strategy wherein profits can be made when stock price is expected to remain stagnant. However it is to be noted that the profits are limited to the option premium earned on call and put but the risk is unlimited. i.e. only when you are reasonably sure as to the stock price remaining more or less constant, go for short straddle.

b2) Assuming that we went for short straddle, we earn $ 8.19 premium on put and $ 14.31 premium on call i.e. we earn maximum of $ 22.50 on this stock due to our position in options.

b3) WITHOUT CONSIDERING TIME VALUE -

Now, CONSIDERING TIME VALUE - the stock price would need to swing in either direction by ( $22.50 * 1.09 \times 0.5)=$ $ 23.49 for us to start incurring losses.

c) Buy the call, sell the put and lend $ 138.8848

Let 'Price' in the table below denote the stock price at the end of 6 months.

If we take a long position in call, the immediate CF is $ 14.31 (premium outflow).

If we take a short position in put, the immediate CF is $ 8.19 (premium inflow)

Position Immediate CF CF in 6 months CF in 6 months

(if price < X) (if price > X)

Call (Long) -14.31 0 Price - 145

Put (Short) 8.19 - (145 - price) 0

Lending Position $145 / 1.09^{\wedge} 0.5=138.88$ 145 145

Total Price Price

Demand and cost information for a monopoly

sattari [20]

Question:

Please see the Demand and Cost information reproduced in the attached table

Answer:

The correct choice is A)

Profit if maximized where price is equal to $20.

At this price, MR = MC.

Please see the attached PDF.

Explanation:

The profit-maximizing choice for the monopoly will be to produce at the quantity where marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost:

That is, the point where MR = MC.

If the monopoly produces a lower quantity, then MR > MC at those levels of output, and the firm can make higher profits by expanding output.

Cheers!

Phips Co. purchases 100 percent of Sips Company on January 1, 20X2, when Phips' retained earnings balance is $320,000 and Sips'

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Phips' post-closing retained earnings balance on December 31, 20X2 = $577,000

Explanation:

Note: When 100% shares of a company is acquired it is treated as subsidiary and for its accounting equity method is used.

In that case all balances of subsidiary are added to balances of Parent company.

But if any dividend is received then such value is deducted from carrying value of investment, and any share in profit will be added to carrying value.

All the retained earnings balance is accumulated together of both companies.

Therefore closing balance shall be

Retained earnings balance of Sips at year end

= $120,000 + $20,000 - $8,000 = $132,000

Year end balance of Phips Alone

= $320,000 + 125,000 = $445,000

Total Retained Earnings at year end = $132,000 + $445,000 = $577,000

Two firms, A and B, each currently emit 100 tons of chemicals into the air. The government has decided to reduce the pollution a

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

20 more tons of pollution into the air, and Firm B will emit 100 fewer tons of pollution into the air.

Explanation:

It is given that :

Amount of tons of pollutants emitted by the two firms A and B earlier = 100 tons

Cost of pollutants by firm A = $ 200 per ton of pollutions

Cost of pollutants by firm B = $ 100 per ton of pollutions

Since the cost for eliminating the pollutants into the air is more for the firm A, the ticket is also more valuable for firm A. And therefore, firm A will buy all the tickets form firm B for an amount around $ 101 to $ 199. It will do so as to have a positive consumer and also to produce surplus.

So firm A will eliminate 20 tons of pollution and will use 80 ton capacity from the tickets. And for firm B, it will eliminate all 100 tons of pollutions.
