Answer:

Explanation:

The Risk neutral probability is given by

e rt − D / U-D

U=1.1

D=0.9

R=0.12

T=3/12

π u = e∧ 0.12 ∗ 3 / 12 − 0.9 /1.1 − 0.9

 =0.652

π d = 1− 0.652 = 0.348

The values of american and european options at each node is given in the following table.

                                    0.652  

                                                                                                    0  

                                                                0.81   48.4  

                                                                0.652    

                                                                0.81    

American option value     2.54         44    

probability                    0.652/0.3478'  

Option value                     2.12        2.4  

Futures price                        40           6      39.6  

                                                               0.3478    

                                                               4.76    

                                                                  36    

                                                                                           0.3478  

                                                                                           9.6  

                                                                                          32.4  

Time period                         0      3           6

the value at up node at 3 months is given by = ( 0.652∗ 0 ) + ( 0.3478 ∗ 2.4 )/e ∧0.12 ∗ 3 / 12 = 0.81

Hence, value of european put option =$2.12

Value of American put option = 2.54

An example of foreseeable damages from a faulty repair of your car that led to an accident would be __________. your loss of a w
OLga [1]

Answer:

the cost to repair your vehicle, as well as all damage to other vehicles involved in the accident.

Explanation:

A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.

There are different types of contract in business and these includes: fixed-price contract, cost-plus contract, bilateral contract, implies contract, unilateral contract, adhesion contract, unconscionable contract, option contract, express contract, executory contract, etc.

A foreseeable damage can be defined as a any form of damage that the parties to a contract knew or took note of at the time when they were signing an agreement to the contract. Thus, it is the ability of an individual to reasonably anticipate the likelihood of damage or potential injury in a given circumstance such as an accident.

This ultimately implies that, foreseeable damages involves the ability of a reasonable individual to anticipate the potential results of his or her actions such as damage or injury to another person due to the refusal to repair a faulty car.

An example of foreseeable damages from a faulty repair of your car that led to an accident would be the cost to repair your vehicle, payment of hospital bill for the injured, including the damage to other vehicles that were involved in the car accident.
