Answer:
d. If Cazden's stock price rose by $5, the exercise value of the options with $25 strike price would also increase by $5.
Explanation:
A call option confers a right, not an obligation upon the call buyer to buy a security at a pre determined price, known as exercise price or strike price at a future date.
A call buyer would exercise his right only in the scenarios wherein the strike price is lesser than the current market price on maturity.
Profit of a call buyer is given by = CMP as on expiry - Exercise/Strike price - Option premium paid
wherein CMP= Current Market Price
A call option is "in the money" when it's strike price is less than it's current market price. In the given case, it means if the CMP today represents CMP upon expiry, call buyer would exercise his right and his gain would be $5 i.e $30 - $25.
Since the $25 exercise option is "in the money", an increase in stock price by $5 will also increase the strike price by $5.
Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Open market operations is a monetary policy instrument that is used by the Federal reserve for controlling the money supply in an economy.

Answer:
How much may Adrian deduct?
This depends on whether the museum is private or not. If the museum belongs to a public charity or a university, then Adrian can deduct full fair market value = $35,000. Since Adrian's AGI is $80,000, she could donate up to $40,000 (half her AGI).
But if the museum is a private organization, then Adrian can deduct only her basis in the vase = $15,000
How would your answer to Part a change if, instead of displaying the vase, the museum sold the vase to an antique dealer?
Once you donate artwork, unless you strict prohibit the museum from selling it, then they can sell it and you cannot do anything about it. Some donors specific certain terms for their donations, e.g. artwork cannot be sold and it must be exhibited at least a certain amount of time, in certain places, etc. But if Adrian didn't include any clause on her donation, then whatever happens to the vase is up to the museum.
Currently, museums are less likely to accept restricted donations, unless of course the artwork is worth it.
