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

german

Answer:

  • <em>She should research the cost of living of different locations to compare against the offered salaries.  </em>

Triumph Corp. issued five-year bonds that pay a coupon of 6.375 percent annually. The current market rate for similar bonds is 8
kari74 [83]

Answer:

Price of  bond  = $916.26

Explanation:

<em>The amount to be paid for the bond would be equal to the Present value (PV) of the redemption Value (RV) plus the present value of the interest payments discounted at the yield rate.</em>

Let us assume that the face value of the bond is 1000 and it is redeemable at par

Interest payment = 6.375%× 1000 = 63.75

PV of interest payment = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

A- 63.75, r-8.5%, n-5

PV = 63.75 ×(1- (1.085)^(-5))/0.085)

PV = 251.215

PV of RV

PV = RV × (1+r)^(-5)

    = 1,000 × (1.085)^(-5)

   = 665.045

Price of  bond  = $916.26
