Answer:

0.31

Explanation:

current stock price $70

risk free rate = 6%

standard deviation = 40$

30 day call option $75

the simplest way to calculate delta (or stock position) is to use a scientific calculator, but if you want you can also do it manually:

delta = N(d₁) ⇒ cumulative normal distribution probability at d₁

with d₁ = [ln (S/K) + (r2  + σ ²/2)T] / σ√T

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

useful life= 12 years

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $140,000

Salvage value= $20,000

Annual depreciation= $10,000

<u>To calculate the useful life, we need to use the straight-line method formula:</u>

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

10,000= (140,00 - 20,000) / useful life

10,000useful life = 120,000

useful life= 120,000 / 10,000

useful life= 12 years

Q 4.35: McGinnis Construction is a cash-basis company with a fiscal year-end of June 30. McGinnis’ employees earn a normal weekl
hjlf

Answer: Understatement, $30,900

Explanation:

There will be an UNDERSTATEMENT of McGinnis' net income for the most recent fiscal year of $30,900.

The Understatement arises because as of year end which is June 30th, McGinnis were not paid for their services that cost $40,900 and instead will only be paid on the 8th of the next month so it was not accounted for in the net income.

The reason the net income understatement is $30,900 and not $40,900 is because McGinnis will still have to account for the payment to it's employees. If in a five day week they earn $12,500, that would mean that they earn $2,500 a day (12,500/5). Seeing as June ended on a Thursday, that is a 4 day week which means $2,500*4= $10,000.

That $10,000 will reduce the net income by that amount.

The net effect is a $30,900 UNDERSTATEMENT.

If Dirk’s Doughnuts is a perfectly competitive firm and is currently incurring economic losses of $500: a. firms will enter the
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The correct answer is option e.

Explanation:

In a perfectly competitive market, there are no limitations on the entry and exit of firms. If the existing firms have positive economic profits, this attracts other potential firms to join the market. In case of losses the firms incurring losses exit the market.  

If Dirk’s Doughnuts is operating in a perfectly competitive market and is incurring economic losses, firms having losses will exit the market.  

This will cause the market supply to decrease. As the supply curve shifts to the left, the price of the product will increase. This will cause profits to increase. The firms will operate at zero economic profits.
