Answer:

The Higher the existing spot price relative to the strike price the more valuable the call options will be.

Explanation:

Spot price simply refers to how much a particular stock is trading in the market (that is, Market Price of the Stock).

Strike Price, also known as exercise price, is the price at which a person (corporate or individual) can purchase security.

Call options refers to the option to purchase an asset at an agreed price prior to/or at a particular day.

If for instance an employee is presented with Stock Options at a particular price, it will be more attractive for him or her if the price at which it is being offered is lower than it's actual market value. That way, he or she has already made a profit.

For example, if the spot price for the stock of Google is $2000/Unit and it is offered to an employee at $1450, if he elects to buy it at that time, he stands a chance to make $550 on each unit that if he sells whilst the spot price is still reasonable.

Cheers!

Answer:

The higher the existing spot price relative to the strike price, the less valuable the call options will be.

Explanation:

Call options refer to financial contracts in which the buyer of the option has the right, but not obligation, to buy asset or instrument at an already agreed price on or before a particular date. The particular date is also known as the expiration date.

The strike price is refers to the price at which a put or call option can be exercised on or before a particular date.

The spot price refers the current market price at which an instrument or asset is bought or sold now for immediate payment and delivery.

The relationship between the strike price and the spot price is that a call option is most valuable when the strike price is higher than the spot price. At this point, the call option is said to be in the money (ITM). On the other hand, a call option is least valuable when the strike price is lower than the spot price. At this point, the call option is said to be out of the money (OTM).

Based on the explantion above, therefore, the higher the existing spot price relative to the strike price, the less valuable the call options will be.

Answer: Higgins should report this litigation as a contingent liability.

Explanation: A liability that is contingent upon an event, that is, dependent on a future event that may or may not happen is called contingent liability. Potential law suits, pending investigations are some of the examples of contingent liability.

JCPenney Company is expected to pay a dividend in year 1 of $1.65, a dividend in year 2 of $1.97, and a dividend in year 3 of $2

arlik [135]

Answer:

c = $71.80.

Explanation:

So, from the question above, it is given that the dividend in the first year = $1.65, the dividend in the second year = $2.54, the dividend for the third year grows at the rate of 8% and the appropriate required return for the stock = 11%.

The first thing to do here is to determine the terminal value. The terminal value can be calculated as below as;

Terminal value = [ 2.54 × ( 1 + 8/100) ÷ (11/100 - 8/100) ] = 91.44

The value of the stock today can be calculate as be as:

The value of the stock today = 1.65 / (1 + 11/100 )¹ + 1.97 / (1 + 11/100)² + 2.54 / (1 + 11/100)³ + 91.44 / (1 + 11%)³ = $71.80.

Therefore, stock should be worth $71.80 today.

1) A Contribution Margin Income Statement is a special format of the income statement that segregates the variable and fixed expenses involved in running a business. It shows the revenue generated after deducting all variable and fixed expenses separately.

Sales= 25000q*$52= $1300000

Variable costs:

Cost of good sold= $22*25000= 550000

Sales commissions=sales*0,05=65000

Shipping expense= $6*25000= 150000

Total variable cost= $765000

Contribution margin=$535000

Fixed costs:

Advertising expense= $172,000

Shipping expense= $54,000

Administrative salaries= $82,000

Insurance expense= $9,200

Depreciation expense= $52,000

Total fixed cost= $369200

Net profit= $165800

2)The general structure of an income statement proceeds as follow:

Revenue/Sales (+)

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) (-)

=Gross Profit

Marketing, Advertising, and Promotion Expenses (-)

General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses (-)

=EBITDA

Depreciation & Amortization Expense (-)

=Operating Income or EBIT

Interest (-)

Other Expenses (-)

=EBT (Pre-Tax Income)

Income Taxes (-)

In this exercise:

Revenues= 1300000

COGS= 550000

Gross profit= 750000

Sales commissions=sales*0,05=65000

Shipping expense= $6*25000+54000= 204000

Advertising expense= 172000

Administrative salaries= 82000

Insurance expense= $9200

EBITDA= 532200

Depretiation= 52000

In a properly functioning economic market, where does the economic value created by firms go? in other words, who gets it? why?

Karolina [17]

The value created by firms in the form of goods and services are distributed among various economic entities that consume them such as private consumers, government etc. But a closed circular flow diagram does not depict the other external values created. For example, a private college is a firm that produces education or provides education as a service to individuals who pay for it. This has a positive externality on society since these students can later teach others in society. Also firms produce under certain conditions and surveillance.

Firms can gain a certain control over society by studying the elasticities of demand. Also, firms generate certain expectations regarding wages and other social benefits. On the other hand, firms are controlled by governmental policies such as minimum wage laws, pricing laws etc. Such policies bind the full potential output if the potential output is not in confluence with social goals or maximization of social welfare.
