Answer:

Explanation:

Put Delta = call delta - 1 = 0.582 - 1 = -0.418

No of Options = (-11.2 million / (-0.418 × 1402)) × 1.32 = 25,227 options

No of Contracts = 25,227 / 100 = 252 contracts

Assume that one year ago, you bought 130 shares of a mutual fund for $27 per share, you received an income distribution of $0.12
Anika [276]

Answer:

Solution:

Dollar amount of total return = Capital gain distributions + Change in market value

First, we calculate the capital gain distributions

Income and capital gains distribution = ($0.12 + $0.22) x 130 shares

Income and capital gains distribution = $44.2

Now, we calculate the change in market value

Change in market value = Sales Price - Purchase price

Change in market value = 130 x $24 - 130 x $27

Change in market value = -$390

Therefore,

Dollar amount of total return = $44.2 + (-$390)

Dollar amount of total return = -$345.80

Suppose Jones Company manufactures chairs. One model is the executive chair that sells for $120. Jones Company projects sales of
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

$32,000

Explanation:

Cost of goods sold refers to all direct expenses incurred in producing goods and excludes all selling and indirect costs.

Cost of goods sold = Sales value - Gross Profit

Gross profit = Sales value - Direct costs - overhead costs

Gross profit per unit = $120 - ($50 + $ 20 + $10)

Gross profit per unit = $40 per unit

Gross profit in value = $40 per unit × No of units = $40 × 400 units = $16,000

Budgeted sales value = Selling price per unit × Budgeted sales units

                                     = $120 × 400 chairs = $48000

Thus, budgeted cost of goods sold = Budgeted sales value - Gross Profit in value

= $48000 - $16000 = $32000

<u>Note</u>: While computing gross profit, selling and administrative expenses would be excluded since those are used while computing net income. Also, cost of goods sold excludes selling and administrative i.e . indirect costs.

Taya2010 [7]
<span>Option A. Greater consumption leads to unhappiness. Affluenza as a term was used as far back as the 50s by critics of consumerism to describe a painful, contagious, socially transmitted condition of overload, debt, anxiety, and waste resulting from the dogged pursuit of more. This pursuit leads to more and more unhappiness. In their book "When Too Much is Never Enough" Clive Hamilton and Richard Denniss pose the question: "If the economy has been doing so well, why are we not becoming happier? They argue that affluenza causes overconsumption because there's excess or surplus for rich consumers.</span>

Taylor Company has current sales of 1,000 units, which generates sales revenue of $190,000, variable costs of $76,000 and fixed
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The change in net operating income after the changes by $14,200

Explanation:

For computing the change in net operating income, first, we have to compute the contribution per unit which is shown below:

Contribution per unit = Selling per unit - variable cost per unit

                                   = $190 per unit - $76 per unit

                                   =  $114 per unit

where,

The selling per unit = (Sales revenue ÷ number of units)

                                = ($190,000 ÷ 1,000 units)

                                = $190 per unit

The variable cost per unit = (variable cost ÷ number of units)

                                           = ($76,000 ÷ 1,000 units)

                                           = $76 per unit

Now the change in operating income equals to

= (increased sales units × contribution per unit) - advertising cost

= (300 units × $114 per unit) - $20,000

= $34,200 -$20,000

= $14,200 increase
