Answer:
Wilson Inc. developed a business strategy that uses stock options as a major compensation incentive for its top executives. On January 1, 2021, 20 million options were granted, each giving the executive owning them the right to acquire five $1 par common shares. The exercise price is the market price on the grant date—$10 per share. Options vest on January 1, 2025. They cannot be exercised before that date and will expire on December 31, 2027. The fair value of the 20 million options, estimated by an appropriate option pricing model, is $40 per option. Ignore income tax.
Assume that all compensation expense from the stock options granted by Wilson already has been recorded. Further assume that 200,000 options expire in 2014 without being exercised. The journal entry to record this would include
I think it’s Alex since he has the lowest salary so it’d be harder for him to pay the tax
Answer: Company should not expand to either.
Explanation:
Find the expected values of expanding to either country and pick the country with the highest expected value:
China:
= ∑(Probability of outcome * Outcome)
= (20% * 2,000,000) + (30% * 1,000,000) + (50% * -2,000,000)
= -$300,000
Vietnam:
= (70% * 1,000,000) + (30% * -2,500,000)
= -$50,000
<em>Both countries result in an expected loss so company should not expand to either of them. </em>
Answer:
The stick price theory helps to explain the upward sloping shape of the aggregate supply curve.
Explanation:
The price tends to be sticky for a number of reasons.
- Firms will need to incur menu costs if they constantly change prices
- Frequent change in prices may annoy the customers
- The wage rates remain the same even after change in price because the wages are based on contracts
The short-run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping because of the stickiness of price, there is a positive and direct relationship between output and price. Due to the high expected price level in the short run, the firms will expect the input prices to rise along with an increase in the product price.
To counter the increase in inputs price, the product price is kept high. The higher price provides motivation to produce more. That's why the short-run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping.
