Options can also be used for hedging. Consider an investor who in May of a particular year owns 1,000 Microsoft shares. The shar

e price is $28 per share. The investor is concerned about a possible share price decline in the next two months and wants protection. The investor could buy 10 July put option contracts on Microsoft on the CBOE with a strike price of $27.50. This would give the investor the right to sell a total of 1,000 shares for a price of $27.50 each. If the quoted option price per share is $1, what is the total cost of the hedging

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

So he should buy put option which gives him right to sell at strike price ($27.5) what ever the price may be . So for buying the right to sell, he need to pay premium the option writer

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.

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The correct words for the blank spaces are (in that order): short; supply; inelastic; long; elastic; responsive.

Explanation:

Supply elasticity refers to the changes in quantity supplied as a result of changes in other factors of production. It measures the responsiveness of the change in the price of that particular good or service offered. In the short term, if there is not enough output, the quantity supplied will be inelastic (less responsive). The opposite happens in the long term with higher levels of output: the supply is likely to become more elastic.

Variable Costing Profit                                                            $608,000

Explanation:

Variable Costing calculations

Unit Product Cost = Variable Manufacturing Cost

                              = $296 + $57 + $34

                              = $387

Cost of Goods Manufactured (28,000 x $387)  =  $10,836,000

Ending Inventory (4,000 x $387) =  $1,548,000

Absorption Costing calculations

Unit Product Cost = Variable Manufacturing Cost + Fixed Manufacturing Costs

                              = $296 + $57 + $34 + ($448,000 ÷ $28,000)

                              = $296 + $57 + $34 + $16

                              = $403

Cost of Goods Manufactured (28,000 x $403)  =  $11,284,000

Ending Inventory (4,000 x $403) =  $1,612,000

Ending Inventory units

Ending Inventory units = Opening units + Production - Sales

                                      = 0 + 28,000 - 24,000

                                      = 4,000 units

The difference in absorption costing and variable costing net operating income is due to fixed manufacturing costs deferred in ending inventory

Use the information on the following transactions for a country named Neverland: i. Local coffee shop: • Purchased coffee beans
sweet [91]

Answer:

(b) 12,500

Explanation:

GDP: expenditures approach:

eXports: 8,000 coffee + 6,000 cloth = 14000

iMports: 2,000 coffe beans + 3,000 expresso + 1,000 whool = 6,000

Net eXport: 14,000 - 6,000 =  8000

Consumption:  4000 clothes

Goverment spending: 500

Total   =  12500

The whool industry did not sale to consumer it sale to the cloth industry and the GDP works with the sum of all finished (final) goods and services not intermediate else, these would be counted twice, once for the whool industry and again when we count the revenue of the cloth industry.
