Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

correct option is a. $.05

Explanation:

given data

stock price S = $43

rate of return r= 10%

exercise price K = $40

time = 6 month

worth = $5

solution

we will apply here formula for worth that is

P = C - S + K × $e^{-rt}$

here C is given worth 5 and S is stock price and K is exercise price and t is time and r is rate

so put here all value in equation 1 we get

P = C - S + K × $e^{-rt}$

P = 5 - 43 + 40 × $e^{-0.1*6/12}$

P = 5 - 43 + 38.05

P = 0.05

so here correct option is a. $.05

A food manufacturer reports the following for two of its divisions for a recent year.

hram777 [196]

Answer:

1. 13.8% and 14.6%

2. 13.6% and 16.5%

3. 1.01 times and 0.88 times

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

1. Return on investment = Operating Income ÷ Average invested Assets

where, average invested assets would be

= (Invested assets, beginning + Invested assets, ending) ÷ 2

For Beverage Division, it would be

= $366 ÷ {($2,696 + $2,610) ÷ 2}

= $366 ÷ $2,653

= 13.8%

For Cheese Division, it would be

= $651 ÷ {($4,489 + $4,417) ÷ 2}

= $651 ÷ $4,453

= 14.6%

2. Profit margin = (Operating income ÷ sales) × 100

For Beverage Division, it would be

= ($366 ÷ $2,698) × 100

= 13.6%

For Cheese Division, it would be

= ($651 ÷ $3,942) × 100

= 16.5%

3. Investment turnover = Sales ÷ Average Operating Assets

For Beverage Division, it would be

= $2,698 ÷ {($2,696 + $2,610) ÷ 2}

= $2,698 ÷ $2,653

= 1.01 times

For Cheese Division, it would be

= $3,942 ÷ {($4,489 + $4,417) ÷ 2}

= $3,942 ÷ $4,453

= 0.88 times

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

an increase in the price of both

Explanation:

A decrease in the supply of paprika would cause an increase in the price of both substitute goods. When the supply of paprika falls, the demand will be greater than what is available for sale and this would cause the sellers to raise it's price afterall it is now scarce.

Also as a substitute good, more people would begin to switch to buying cummin which would raise the demand for cummin. This increase in demand for cummin would then cause the price of cummin to go up.
