The prices of a certain security followa geometric Brownian motion with parameters μ = .12 and σ = .24. If the security’s price

is presently 40, what is the probability that a call option, having four months until its expiration time and with a strike price of K = 42, will be exercised? (A security whose price at the time of expiration of a call option is above the strike price is said to finish in the money.)

Answer:

Probability = 45%

Explanation:

The stock is above 42 after 4 months. Well the distribution of the stock after 4 months (1/3 of a year) satisfies.

ln(S/40) = a normal distribution with mean μt - 0.5σ^{2t} and

std dev σsqrt(t) => a normal distribution with mean 0.03 and std dev 0.1385

ln(S/40) => ln( 42 / 40 ) => 0.049.

Convert to standard normal => (0.049-0.03)/0.1385 => 0.133

The answer is the area of the normal distribution above 0.133 which is about 45%

Hope this helps!

An advantage of the _____ costing method is that the cost of goods sold approximates its current cost.
Komok [63]

Answer:

weighted average

Explanation:

An advantage of the weighted average costing method is that the cost of goods sold approximates its current cost. This is mainly due to the fact that the cost of each unit is made equal to the same cost of all units that are currently available for sale during that extended period of business. Therefore approximating its total current cost.

sasse inc manufactures 2 products hammers and screwdrivers the company has estimated its overhead in the assembling department t
igomit [66]

Answer:

The answer is: $500,000

Explanation:

In order to allocate overhead cost we will use the overhead cost per part ratio:

Total overhead cost = $2,000,000

Hammers produced = 300,000 x 2 parts per hammer = 600,000 parts

Screwdrivers produced = 600,000 x 3 parts per hammer = 1,800,000 parts

Total parts involved in the production process = 2,400,000 parts

Overhead cost per part = $2,000,000 / 2,400,000 parts = $0.83 per part

Total overhead cost allocated to the production of hammers = 600,000 parts used in hammer production x $0.83 per part = $500,000
