e price is $28 per share. The investor is concerned about a possible share price decline in the next two months and wants protection.

Answer:

The total cost of hedging is $1,000

Explanation:

The Investor in may owns 1000 Microsoft shares which is currently selling for $28  per shares and he is on the opinion that the price will crash in next two months so need to be protected from the crash

Given premium per share is 1, We have 1000 shares, so we need hedge for 1000 shares .

Cost of hedging = No of option contracts bought * Premium per option

Cost of hedging = 1000 * $1

Cost of hedging = $1000

Thus, the total cost of hedging is $1,000.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The projects which maximize Vanguard's shareholder wealth are Project A; Project B; Project D.

Explanation:

Projects which maximize the shareholder value are projects delivering Expected Returns which are higher than its risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital (WACC).

As a result, Project A with Expected return of 15% and risk adjusted WACC of 12%; Project B with Expected return of 12% and risk adjusted WACC of 10%; Project D with Expected return of 9% and risk adjusted WACC of 8%; are the projects that maximize the shareholder's value.

Sheridan Company uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 485 units that
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Value of closing inventory = $25771.04

Explanation:

To calculate the value of ending inventory under a periodic average cost method, we will calculate the average price per unit of inventory at the end of the month. To calculate the average price per unit, we simply divide the total cost of the inventory by the total number of units for the month.

Average cost per unit = Total cost of all units for the month / Total units available for the month

<u />

<u>Total cost of all units:</u>

Beginning inventory (485 * 66)            32010

Purchase 1     (725 * 69)                        50025

Purchase 2     (364 * 71)                    <u>    25844</u>

Total                                                       107879

<u>Total Units</u>

Beginning Inventory     485

Purchase 1                     725

Purchase 2                    <u>364</u>

Total                              1574

Average cost per unit =   107879 / 1574

Average cost per unit = $68.54

Units of closing inventory = 1574 - 1198     =   376 units

Value of closing inventory =  376 * 68.54

Value of closing inventory = $25771.04

An error in the ending inventory balance in Year 1 will also affect: (You may select more than one answer.)
Virty [35]

Answer:

A) Year 1 cost of goods sold

B) Year 2 cost of goods sold

D) Year 2  beginning inventory

Explanation:

A) Year 1 expense of merchandise sold : The Current year cost of Goods Sold is processed by deducting finishing stock from Opening Inventory and Purchases made during the year. So in the event that the completion stock isn't right, at that point the result of above calculation will not be right so the Year 1 expense of merchandise sold for example (Current year cost of Goods Sold) will be inaccurate.  

D) Year 2 starting stock: year 2 starting stock is equivalent to year 1 completion stock. So on the off chance that off-base stock estimation is made at end of earlier year, at that point current year opening worth will be carried on as off-base.  

B) Year 2 expense of merchandise sold: The explanation is same as ans q(i.e. Year 1 expense of merchandise sold) as off-base convey forward opening stock worth will bring about wrong calculation of cost of products sold for year 2.
