Answer: False

Explanation:

If you want to hedge the risk of owning the stock then that would mean that you want to take measures to ensure that you don't lose out if prices fall.

A call option is not the way to do this because call options are bought with the expectations that prices will go up. If you buy call options then and the prices fall, you would make a loss on both the call options and the stock that you own.

A good way to hedge this would be to take Put options on the stock. Put options help you benefit if prices fall because you would be allowed to sell at a certain price unaffected by the fall in prices.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

$150,000

Explanation:

The computation of value of ending inventory under absorption costing is shown below:-

Total Cost per unit = Direct Material per unit + Direct Labor per unit + Variable Overhead per unit + Fixed Overhead per unit

= $5 + $4 + $3 + ( $200,000 ÷ 25,000 units)

= $5 + $4 + $3 + $8

= $20

Ending Inventory in units = Units produced - Units sold

= 25,000 - 17,500

= 7,500

Cost of Ending Inventory = Total Cost per unit × Ending Inventory units

= $20 × 7,500

= $150,000

So, for computing the cost of ending inventory we simply multiply the total cost per unit with ending inventory units.
