Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Profit $3,567

I would exercise my option by buying the shares before the expiration .

Explanation:

Calculation of how much profit would you make trading $1,000,000

First step is to multiply the spot rate on the final day by the trading amount

3.4329s*$1,000,000

=$3,432,900

Second step is to divide the spot rate option by the strike price

3,432,900/3.4207

=$1,003,567

Last Step is to find the profit

Profit =$1,003,567-$1,000,000

Profit=$3,567

Therefore the amount of PROFIT you would make trading $1,000,000 will be $3,567

Based on the above calculation I would exercise my option by buying the shares before the expiration .

. Based on the following data, Accounts payable…………………………………………………..... $62,000 Accounts receivable…………………………………………………. 100,000
Temka [501]

Answer:  $428,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Accounts payable = $62,000

Accounts receivable = 100,000

Cash = 30,000

Inventory = 138,000

Land = 160,000

Common Stock = 200,000

Revenue = 80,000

Dividends = 56,000

Expenses = 40,000

Total assets = Accounts receivable + Cash + Inventory + Land

                     = 100,000 + 30,000 +  138,000 + 160,000

                     = $428,000

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

<em>Hi, your question is incomplete, I tried to look for it online but I could not find it. Here is an explanation on the steps to solve the problem.</em>

Step 1 : Determine the Total Materials Cost

Total Materials Cost

Opening WIP cost                                      $310,000

Costs added during the period                  $40500

Total                                                           $350,500

Step 2 : Total Equivalent units for materials

Equivalent units for materials = Completed units + Equivalent units in ending work in process inventory.

Step 3 : Unit equivalent cost for materials

Unit equivalent cost = Total Cost ÷ Total equivalent units

Step 4 : ending work in process inventory cost

Ending work in process inventory = Unit equivalent cost x equivalent units in ending work in process with respect to materials
