Answer: Net Gain $5,000

Return on Investment = 167%

Explanation:

Profits are made on Puts if the spot price (current price) is less than the exercise price. Which is why the equation is such,

Profit equation of put option = Max ( exercise price - spot price, 0) - Premium paid.

The formula shows that there is no profit if the spot price climbs higher than the Exercise price as the option will not be exercised. In other words of the spot price is higher than the Exercise price, the option will not be exercised hence $0 profit. If the Exercise price is higher though then it will be exercised and the gain will be the exercise price minus the spot price.

Using that formula his gain was,

= 97 - 89 - 3

= $5

Treasury bond futures contracts are usually sold at a minimum of 1,000 bonds so assuming Brad got 1 then his gain would be,

= 5 * 1,000

= $5,000

His return on investment would be,

= Net profit / Initial investment

Bear in mind that his Net Investment would be the premium times the number of bonds

= 1,000 * 3

= $3,000

Return on Investment = 5,000/3,000

Return on Investment = 167%

GaryK [48]

Answer:

The missing part of the question is found below:

Boots Plus has two product lines: Hiking boots and Fashion boots. Income statement data for the most recent year follow:

                                Total       Hiking        Fashion

Sales revenue       $480,000 $340,000 $140,000

Variable expenses 355,000 235,000 120,000

Contribution margin 125,000 105,000 20,000

Fixed expenses         76,000 38,000 38,000

Operating income (loss) $49,000 $67,000 $(18,000)

Answer

By discontinuing fashion line of business operating income would increase by $5,000

Explanation:

The impact of eliminating Fashion line is evident in the revised Income statement below:

                                                                 Hiking

Sales revenue                                         $340,000

Variable expenses                                  ($235,000)

Contribution margin                                105,000

Fixed expenses($76,000-$25,000)     ($51,000)

Operating income                                    $54,000

By discontinuing the fashion line of business,the operating income would increase by $5,000 ($54,000-$49,000) from $49,000 when operating the two lines of business to $54,000 when fashion is closed up.

The most appropriate action is to concentrate on the hiking line which might mean that Boots plus has a competitive edge in the Hiking business sector.

The following annual amounts pertain to the Wolf Company: Estimated Overhead Costs $ 101,988 Estimated Direct Labor hours 67,992
mezya [45]

Answer:

under applied by $1,000.

Explanation:

The formula is shown below:

Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours)

= $101,998 ÷ 67,992 hours

= $1.50

Now we have to find the applied overhead which equal to

= Actual direct labor-hours × predetermined overhead rate

= 70,000 hours × $1.50

= $105,000

So, the ending overhead equals to

= Actual manufacturing overhead - actual overhead

= $106,000 - $105,000

= $1,000 under-applied
