Answer:

(C) The Firm's stock is overvalued and one should consider selling the stock

Explanation:

Price Earnings Ratio is a measure of market price of stock in relation to it's earnings. It shows how well a company's stock is valued in the market.

Price Earnings Ratio = \frac{Market\ Price\ Per\ Share}{Earnings\ Per\ Share}

A high price earnings ratio would lead investors to believe that the firm's stock prices are higher than it's earnings which means the stock prices are overvalued.

This further means, the market price of those stocks is greater than their fair value and it would be beneficial to investors to sell such stocks as it would result into a gain.

Thus, a higher price earnings ratio will lead investors to infer that the firm's stock is overvalued and one should consider selling the stock.

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

b. Call for $1,500

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

We can calculate the amount of margin call by using following formula:-

Loss of today = future contracts based total bushels × total contract × (settlement cost per bushels - future contract price per bushels)

= 5,000 cents × 6 × (390 cents  - 385 cents)

= 5,000 cents × 6 × 5 cents

= 150,000 cents

And we know that

100 cents = 1 dollar

so,

150,000 cents ÷ 100 =$1,500

Initial margin $878 per future contract and maintenance margin $650 per contract, Margins of both are less than loss .So we have to pay $1,500 in initial margin.

According to the analysis, we will receive $1,500 margin call.

Therefore option (B) call for $1,500 is correct.
