When trying to purchase an item with a high value
Answer:
Profit = $0.60
Explanation:
Call option is an option to buy by paying a call premium. The option is exercised when current market price is more than the strike price. In this case, the strike price is $40 and the premium is $1.30, whereas the current market price is $41.90. The option buyer can exercise the contract by purchase the stock at lower price and sell at current market price to gain return. The gain will be calculated as:
Value = Current Price - Strike Price
Value = 41.90 - 40
Value = 1.90
To calculate the profit, we needs to subtract premium cost from value:
Profit = Value - Call Premium
Profit = 1.90 - 1.30
Profit = $0.60
Answer:
$82.90
Explanation:
Generally, the price of a share will fall by the amount of the dividend on the ex dividend day. The aim is to ensure that the value of the stock is maintained. Therefore, the amount at which the stock will open on the ex dividend day can be calculated as:
Market price per share (MPS) on February 4 = $82.90 - $3.20 = $79.70
With the payment of $3.20 per share, the value of the share will be:
The total value of the stock on February 4 = $79.70 = $3.20 = $82.90
Therefore, the value of the stock on February 4 is $82.90.
Note: There seems to be a typographical error in the option a. in the question. It should be the answer if corrected.
Answer:
65.682%
Explanation:
The computation of the percentage is shown below;
But before that first determine the present value i.e.
Given that
Future value = $1,000
PMT = $1,000 × 6% ÷ 2 = $30
RTAE = 10% ÷ 2 = 5%
NPER = 20 × 2= 40
the formula is shown below;
= -PV(RATE,NPER,PMT,FV,TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the present value is $656.82
Now the percentage is
= $656.82 ÷ $1,000
= 65.682%
