Answer: b. selling VIX calls

Explanation:

The client could make some money selling VIX calls. Call options give the holder the right to buy an underlying asset at a set price in future and they will do so if the market price of the underlying asset increases past the call price of the asset (exercise price).

If the client expects that market conditions will be stable then an increase in stock price is not expected. They can sell calls and make money from the premium they will charge for the calls knowing that they would not have to sell any stock to the holder as the value will not appreciate.

OLga [1]

Answer: The depreciation expense that will be recorded for the furniture for the first year ended December 31 is $825.

Explanation: Straight-line mwthod of depreciation is:

(Acquisition value minus salvage value) / No of years

Per the question, the acquistion value of the new furniture is $19,000 while the salvage value is $2,500. The number of years is 5 years.

Then yearly depreciation would be <u>($19,000 - $2,500) / 5 years = $3,300</u>.

Note that the furniture was purchased on September 30. To arrive at the depreciation expense that will be recorded as at December 31, you need to pro rate the yearly depreciation of $3,300.

September 30 to Decemer 31 is 3 months. <u>So the total depreciation expense will be $3,300 * 3 / 12 = $825.</u>

Highlight the difference between progressive and regressive tax.
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

A progressive tax system imposes taxes depending on income earned. The higher the income, the higher the tax rate. It means individuals and entities with a higher income with pay more taxes. A progressive tax system promotes equity by imposing higher taxes on the wealthy and lower taxes on the poor. The US income tax system is an example of a progressive tax.

A regressive tax system does not discriminate on income. It taxes all eligible taxpayers equally regardless of their income level. A regressive tax applies the same tax rate for everyone. Sale tax imposed on goods sold is an example of regressive tax. The regressive tax system takes a higher proposition of income from the low-income earners.

Item 1Item 1 Narchie sells a single product for $50. Variable costs are 60% of the selling price, and the company has fixed cost
Katarina [22]

Answer:

$235,000

Explanation:

The computation fo the safety margin is shown below:

As we know that

Margin of safety = Expected sales - break even sales

where,

Expected sales is

= 29,000 units × $50

= $1,450,000

And, the break even sales is

= Fixed cost ÷ contribution margin per unit

= $486,000 ÷ ($50 - $50 × 0.60)

= $486,000 ÷ $20

= 24,300 units

And, the selling price is $50

So the break even sales is

= 24,300 units × $50

= $1,215,000

So, the safety margin is

= $1,450,000 - $1,215,000

= $235,000
