Answer:

Answer:
-$14 per share
Explanation:
The exercise value is the monetary value of Mrs. Jennifer's call option if she was going to exercise it. The exercise value is calculated by subtracting the current stock price from the strike price = $60 - $74 = -$14.
Since no one would exercise a stock warrant knowing that they will lose money, we can expect that Mrs. Jennifer does not exercise her call option. If she really wanted to purchase a stock from LPM it would be cheaper to buy it at its current market price.
Answer:
put upward pressure on; put downward pressure on
- The actions of U.S. investors to lock in this higher foreign return would PUT UPWARD PRESSURE ON the currency's spot rate and PUT DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON the currency's futures price.
Explanation:
If both the spot and the forward price of a currency are the same, it means that it should be worth the same today than in the future. If you can earn higher interest by investing in that foreign currency, then investors will start purchasing higher amounts of the foreign in order to invest and gain higher rates.
Since the demand for the foreign currency increases, that put upward pressure its current price. Simply more investors will want to invest in that currency. While that happens right now, the market will tend to adjust to correct this arbitrage, and the way this can be adjusted is by lowering the future price of the currency. That puts downward pressure on the forward rate.
Answer:
ROE would have changed by 8.52%
Explanation:
First we calculate the current ROE using Dupont Equation which gives ROE as,
ROE = Net Income/Sales * Sales/Total Assets * Total Assets/Equity
or
ROE = Net Profit Margin * Total Assets Turnover * Equity Multiplier
- Current ROE = 10600/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.0880 or 8.8%
The condition says that the net income could have increased to 20850 but other factors will remain constant. Thus, to calculate new ROE, we will calculate the new Net Profit margin but the total assets turnover and the equity multiplier will remain constant as sales assets and capital structure is not changing.
- New ROE = 20850/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.17316 or 17.32%
- The ROE would have changed by 17.32 - 8.80 = 8.52%
