Answer:

(a) The call price would decrease (b) $8 per share (c) $6 per share

Explanation:

Solution:

The Call option is the right to sell a specified security at a specified price on a future date.

(a) The value of call option/ price  will decrease

Since after payment of dividend, the market price of share will decrease

Hence, value of call option will decrease

(b)The Intrinsic Value = Market Price - Strike price

= $50 - $42

= $8 per share

(c)The time Value = Option Premium - Intrinsic Value

= 14-8

= $6 per share

How much total depreciation and amortization expense did Patnode record during 2015?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

d. $5,000

Explanation:

Patnode's information is missing, so I looked it up. I found the balance sheet for 2014 and 2015. Hope that it is the same question:

total depreciation expense for 2015 = change in accumulated depreciation (2015 - 2014) + change in accumulated amortization (2015 - 2014) = ($3,000 - $0) + ($3,000 - $1,000) = $3,000 + $2,000 = $5,000

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

$ 127,773.36

Explanation:

The professor will be in sabbatical  in years 7,  14, 21, 28, 35 and 42

In each of these years, he receives full pay amounting to=50,000

The PV of the sabbatical full pay

= \frac{50,000}{1.04^7} + \frac{50,000}{1.04^14} + \frac{50,000}{1.04^21} + \frac{50,000}{1.04^28} + \frac{50,000}{1.04^35} +\frac{50,000}{1.04^42} = 84,101.22

=50,000/(1+4%)^7+ 50,000/(1+4%)^14+ 50,000/(1+4%)^21+ 50,000/(1+4%)^28+50,000

/(1+4%)^35+ 50,000/(1+4%)^42

==50,000/(1+4%)^7+ 50,000/(1+4%)^14+ 50,000/(1+4%)^21+ 50,000/(1+4%)^28+50,000

/(1+4%)^35+ 50,000/(1+4%)^42

= \frac{50,000}{1.316} + \frac{50,000}{1.732} + \frac{50,000}{2.279}  +\frac{50,000}{2.999} +\frac{50,000}{3.946} + \frac{50,000}{5.193}

=37,993.92 + 28,868.36 + 21,939.45 + 16,672.22 + 12,671.06 + 9,628.35

=  $ 127,773.36

Thus, at an interest rate of 4%, the present value of all the sabbatical earnings amount to $ 127,773.36

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer: d. more coffee and fewer football tickets

Explanation:

MU/P refers to the marginal utility gained per dollar of an alternative and rationale consumers are always expected to maximise their utility by picking alternatives that give them more utility as opposed to less.

The MU/P for coffee is 20 whilst that of football tickets in 10. This means that more utility is gained from getting more coffee as opposed to football tickets. The action that would maximise utility would therefore be one where the consumer gets more coffee and fewer football tickets.
