Answer:

$98.02

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Value of contract = $1,330

Maximum value = $86

Minimum value = $65

Exercise price = $78

Risk-free rate = 3%

Now,

Current value of stock = (\frac{\text{Maximum value-Minimum value}}{\text{Maximum value-Exercise price}}\times\text{Call price})+(\frac{\text{Maximum value }}{\text{1+Risk-free rate}})

also,

a standard contract has 100 shares

thus,

Call price = Value of contract ÷ 100 shares

or

Call price = $1,330 ÷ 100  = $13.30

Thus,

Current value of stock = (\frac{\text{86-65}}{\text{86-78}}\times\text{13.30})+(\frac{\text{86}}{\text{1+0.03}})

or

Current value of stock = ( 2.625 × $13.30 ) + $63.1068

= $98.0193 ≈ $98.02

Bagley Corporation expects to incur $900,000 of factory overhead and $600,000 of general and administrative costs next year. Dir
Burka [1]

Answer:

Overheads apply = $2,400

Explanation:

given data

factory overhead = $900,000

general and administrative costs = $600,000

per hour = $20

Direct labor costs = $300,000

solution

we know here Total direct labor hours that is

Total direct labor hours = \frac{$300000}{$20}

Total direct labor hours  = 15,000 direct labor hours

so here Factory overheads per direct labor hour will be

Factory overheads per direct labor hour = \frac{900000}{15000}

Factory overheads per direct labor hour = $60 per direct labor hour

so here  Overheads applied to Job  will be

Overheads apply = 40 direct labor hours × $60 per direct labor

Overheads apply = $2,400

While Aros Inc. incurs a cost of $20 for a pair of shoes, Shoes Cult Inc., its competitor, manufactures a pair of shoes at $22.
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

D. Shoes Cult has a competitive advantage over Aros.

Explanation:

Competitive advantage is defined as the advantage an entity has when they are able to produce a good at cost that is lower than the cost incurred by other parties in the same industry. This results in higher profit margins for businesses that have low production cost.

In this scenario Aros produces shoes for $20 while Shoes Cult produces the same shoes for $22. They both have the same price ceiling of $30.

Aros has competitive advantage over Shoes Cult because they produce at a lower cost and make more profit than Shoes Cult.

Assume they both sell at the maximum price. Profit for Aros= 30- 20=$10

Profit for Shoes Cult= 30-22= $8
