A company has a $20 million portfolio with a beta of 1.2. It would like to use futures contracts on a stock index to hedge its r

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer: 88.89 or 89

Explanation: Futures contract refers to a legal binding which obligates a buyer and seller to transact about a commodity, good, security or services at a predetermined price but goods are delivered or paid for in the future.

Given the following ;

Portfolio value(p) = $20million

Portfolio Beta (b) = 1.2

Index price (i) = 1080

Multiplier = 250

Future value(A) = index price × multiplier

Future value(A) = 1080 × 250 = 270000

Number of contracts (N) = (portfolio value × portfolio Beta) ÷ future value

N = ($20,000,000×1.2)÷270000

N = 24000000 ÷×270000

N = 88.8888=88.89

N = 89 (NEAREST whole number)

A coffee shop buys 2000 bags of their most popular coffee beans each month. The cost of ordering and receiving shipments is $12

aleksley [76]

Solution :

The optimal order quantity, EOQ = $\sqrt{\frac{2 \times \text{demand}\times \text{ordering cost}}{\text{holding cost}}}$

EOQ = $\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 2000 \times 12}{3.6}}$

= 115.47

The expected number of orders = $\frac{\text{demand}}{EOQ}$

$=\frac{2000}{115.47}$

= 17.32

The daily demand = demand / number of working days

$=\frac{2000}{240}$

= 8.33

The time between the orders = EOQ / daily demand

$=\frac{115.47}{8.33}$

= 13.86 days

ROP = ( Daily demand x lead time ) + safety stock

$=(8.33 \times 8)+10$

= 76.64

The annual holding cost = $\frac{EOQ}{2} \times \text{holding cost}$

$=\frac{115.47}{2} \times 3.6$

= 207.85

The annual ordering cost = $\frac{\text{demand}}{EOQ} \times \text{ordering cost}$

$=\frac{2000}{115.47} \times 12$

= 207.85

So the total inventory cost = annual holding cost + annual ordering cost

= 207.85 + 207.85

= 415.7

CVP analysis, shoe stores.The HighStep Shoe Company operates a chain of shoe stores that sell 10 different styles of inexpensive

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

UNIT VARIABLE DATA:

Selling price $60

Cost of shoes 37

Sales commission 3

Total Variable cost per unit 40

ANNUAL FIXED COSTS

Rent $30,000

Salaries 100,000

Advertising 40,000

Other fixed costs 10,000

TOTAL FIXED COSTS $180,000

1) Break-even point (units)= fixed costs/ contribution margin

Break-even point (units)= 180,000/ (60 - 40)= 9,000 pair of shoes

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 180,000 / (20/60)= $540,000

2) Q= 8,000

Income= quantity* contribution margin - fixed costs

Income= 8000*20 - 180,000= $-20,000

3) Variable costs= $37

Fixed costs= 180,000 + 15,500= $195,500

Break-even point (units)= 195,500 / (60 - 37)= 8,500 pair of shoes

Break-even point (dollars)= 195,500 / (23/60)= $510,000

4) Comission= $2

Variable costs= 42

Break-even point (units)= 180,000 / (60 - 42)= 10,000 pair of shoes

Break-even point (dollars)= 180,000 / (18/60)= $600,000

5) comission= $2 post 9,000 pair of shoes

Income= 9,000*20 + 3,000*18 - 180,0000= $54,000
