Answer:

The best revision for the following sentence is:

B) We have identified a problem with our expense sheet, but we will solve it.

Explanation:

In e-mail, letters, messages, memos, and other business documents intended for a busy audience who appreciates getting the information they need quickly and easily, replacing a phrases with a word  in a formal tone, detracting from adding meaning: "we have identified" instead of: "I am sending" or "we need to inform you", keeping the sentence just as it is with certain rhythm and concise.

Otherwise in option 1. I am sending you this letter to inform you that we have experienced an unexpected surprise within our expense sheet, but we are positively certain we will solve it.

The sentence has a redundant pair:  "send" and "inform", it is “wordy,” and includes irrelevant “fillers” as "unexpected" that makes it lack of conciseness in the substantive information, not getting to the point promptly. I also includes passive voice which is not a grammatical error, but it often leads to using more words than necessary frustrating or confusing the audience; and it has prepositional phrases overuse: "that", within", "but" making this sentence clunky and unclear.

In option A) We need to inform you that we have experienced an unexpected surprise with our expense sheet, but we are midway to an end result.

The sentence has unnecessary modifiers: "unexpected" and "end", and passive voice again.

In option C) I am sending you this letter to inform you that we have a problem with our expense sheet, but we are positively certain we have a solution.

The sentence has unnecessary modifier: "positively".

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
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

A) according to put call parity:

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

put = $6.93 - $125 + [$140 / (1 + 5%)¹/⁴] = $6.93 - $125 +$138.30 = $20.23

B)

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

the total cost of the investment = $6.93 + $20.23 = $27.16, this way you can make a profit if the stock price increases higher than $125 + $20.23 = $145.23 or decreases below than $125 - $20.23 = $104.77
