Answer:
Proposal A: 5,455 units
Proposal B: 5,770 units
Explanation:
The break-even point is the number of units required for the revenue to equal the total costs.
For proposal A:
Fixed Costs = $60,000
Variable Costs = $13 / unit
Selling Price = $24 / unit
For proposal B:
Fixed Costs = $75,000
Variable Costs = $11 / unit
Selling Price = $24 / unit
Rounding up to the next whole unit, the break-even points for proposal A and B, respectively, are 5,455 and 5,770 units.
Answer:
Put options give the holder the right to sell the underlying stock to the seller of the put option.
Put options are advantageous when the price in the market falls below the strike price of the option because the buyer will be able to sell at above market value and make a profit.
The asking price for a strike price of $9.00 is listed to be $0.33 and this is the premium paid by the buyer of the Put Option.
<h2>1. Return if stock sells for $8.00</h2>
= Amount received/ Amount spent
= (No. of shares * ((Strike price - Market price) - Premium paid) ) / (No. of share * premium)
= (2,300 shares * (($9.00 - 8.00) - 0.33))/ ( 2,300 * 0.33)
= 2.03
= 203 %
<h2>2. Return if stock sells for $10.00. </h2>As this is an option, the investor can decide not to sell to the seller. The market price is higher than the strike price so they will not sell to the seller of the option and the return will be;
= (No. of shares * - Premium paid) ) / (No. of share * premium)
= (2,300 shares * - 0.33)/ ( 2,300 * 0.33)
= -1
= -100 %
