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

Peterson Corporation wanted to run an ad campaign that featured popular songs sung by the original singer. The aim was to make a
belka [17]

Answer:

Misappropriation refers to the use of another person's intellectual property including their name or likeness without prior permission from the person which can then cause harm to that person.

This is indeed an example of misappropriation because the company tried to use Bette's likeness in the commercial. After being rebuffed by Bette saying that she does not do commercials for whatever business or personal reasons known to her, they still sought to use her popularity and image to make their products more popular.

To do so they hired a backup singer and told her to sing as much like Bette as she could so much so that even Bette's close acquaintances thought that it was Bette. If her close acquaintances could think it was her, imagine the general public.

They therefore made it seem as though Bette did their commercial which then would mean that Bette does in fact do commercials which would do damage her assertion that she does not do same. This would bring harm to her business relationships if for instance she had rebuffed other companies in the past when they sought her to do their commercials.

This is a case of Misappropriation and Bette should sue.

Ibarra Corporation uses the FIFO method in its process costing system.
Advocard [28]

Answer:

$5.70

Explanation:

The calculation of conversion costs for the month is given below:-

Units started to completed during the period = Units completed during the month - Units started during the month

= $104,000 - $16,400

= $87,600

So, to complete the started work in progress :-

The Conversion = $16,400 × (100% - 20%)

                          = $13,120

Units started to completed during the period $87,600

And, the ending work in progress

For Conversion = $13,400 × 30%

                          = $4,020

Therefore, the Equivalent production of units is

= $87,600 + $13,120 + $4,020

= $104,740

So, The cost of per per equivalent unit is

= Cost added during the period ÷ Equivalent units of production

= $597,123 ÷ $104,740

= $5.70
