<span>Put all of these numbers in a line...obviously, don't put ALL of them, but enough so you can see what you're doing. 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 297,624,985 Now put all these numbers BACKWARDS underneath that. 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 297,624,985 297,624,985 + 297,624,984 + 297,624,983 + ... + 1 Now add the first series to the second, and you'll see that they add up to: 297,624,986 + 297,624,986 + 297,624,986 + ...297,624,986 Since there were 297,624,985 terms, the total sum here is 297,624,986 * 297,624,985 But since you added it twice, you divide it by two: 148,812,493 * 297,624,985 This is 44,290,315,996,937,605, so...yes, it is MUCH larger.</span>

Journal Entries Transaction

1.

Dr. Cash                                                                    $120,000

Cr. Common stock                                                   $100,000

Cr. Paid-in capital excess of par, Common stock  $20,000

2.

Dr. Company expenses                                                        $22,000

Cr. Common stock, $1 stated value                                     $2,500

Cr. Paid-in-capital excess of stated value common stock $19,500

3.

Dr. Company expenses                 $22,000

Cr. Common stock, no-par value  $22,000

4.

Dr. Cash                                                                   $53,250

Cr. Preferred stock, $25 par value                         $31,250

Cr. Paid-in capital excess of par preferred stock  $22,000

Explanation:

1. The Excess of common stock and cash received will be recorded in the Paid in capital in excess of par value, common Stock account.

Common Stock, $20 Par Value = 5,000 shares × $20 per share = $100,000

Paid in capital in excess of par value, common Stock = $120,000 – $100,000 = $20,000

2.The Excess of common stock and cash received will be recorded in the Paid in capital in excess of stated value, common Stock account.

Common stock = $1 x 2,500 = $2,500

Paid-in capital in excess of stated value, common stock = $22,000 - $2,500 = $19,500

4. The Excess of common stock and cash received will be recorded in the Paid in capital in excess of par value, common Stock account.

Preferred Stock, $25 Par Value = 1,250 shares × $25 per share = $31,250

Paid in capital in excess of par value, preferred Stock = $53,250 – $31,250 = $22,000

The common stock of the P.U.T.T. Corporation has been trading in a narrow price range for the past month, and you are convinced
mariarad [96]

Answer:

A) according to put call parity:

price of put option = call option - stock price + [future value / (1 + risk free rate)ⁿ]

put = $8.89 - $120 + [$120 / (1 + 8%)¹/⁴] = $8.89 - $120 +$117.71 = $6.60

B) you have to purchase both a put and call option ⇒ straddle

the total cost of the investment = $8.89 + $6.60 = $15.496, this way you can make a profit if the stock price increases higher than $120 + $6.60 = $126.60 or decreases below than $120 - $6.60 = $113.40
