Answer: B. 1 DEF Jan 50 Call
Explanation:
The Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) acting under its mandate of being an issuer and guarantor for options and futures contracts can alter options prices but does not do so for prices based on normal dividends as they are more regular and their effects are already accounted for in the price of the call.
When a company calls a one-time special cash dividend, this is new to the market which would not have incorporated it into the price of the call. The OCC will then adjust the price to account for this.
In this case it will do so by subtracting the dividend from the call;
= 55 - 5
= $50
The customer will then have 1 DEF Jan 50 Call
.
Answer:
The money supply should be set at 800
Explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the value at which Fed should set the money supply at after fixing the interest rate at 7 percent.
We proceed as follows;
Let the new money supply be M.
To fix the interest rate at 7%, r= 7 and P = 2
(M/P)d = 2,200 - 200r
= 2200 - 200(7)
=2200-1400
= 800
M = 800

Answer:
the options were missing:
- a tax of $9,000
- a tax of $14,000
- a tax of $15,000
- a tax of $18,000
the answer is a tax of $18,000
Explanation:
in this case, the seller surplus = $510,000 - $485,000 = $25,000, while consumer surplus = $525,000 - $510,000 = $15,000
Taxes decrease consumer surplus, but consumers are still willing to purchase goods if the price of the goods plus the taxes is equal or less to the maximum price that they are willing to pay. But $510,000 + $18,000 = $528,000 which is higher than $525,000
Answer: -12.1%
Explanation:
Bond Sam was priced at Par which means it could have been priced at $1,000 and its yield was the same as the coupon rate of 8%.
If interest rates rise by 5%, the yield becomes:
= 8% + 5%
= 13%
Price of bond is attached:
Yield = 13% /2 = 6.5% per semiannual period
Coupon = 8% * 1,000 * 0.5 = $40 per semi annual period
Period till maturity = 3 * 2 = 6 semiannual periods
Price = $878.97
Percentage change in price:
= (878.97 - 1,000) / 1,000 * 100%
= -12.1%
