Answer:

D. $0.93

Explanation:

Upmove (U) = High price/current price

                    = 42/40

                    = 1.05

Down move (D) = Low price/current price

                          = 37/40

                          = 0.925

Risk neutral probability for up move

q = (e^(risk free rate*time)-D)/(U-D)

  = (e^(0.02*1)-0.925)/(1.05-0.925)

  = 0.76161

Put option payoff at high price (payoff H)

= Max(Strike price-High price,0)

= Max(41-42,0)

= Max(-1,0)

= 0

Put option payoff at low price (Payoff L)

= Max(Strike price-low price,0)

= Max(41-37,0)

= Max(4,0)

= 4

Price of Put option = e^(-r*t)*(q*Payoff H+(1-q)*Payoff L)

                               = e^(-0.02*1)*(0.761611*0+(1-0.761611)*4)

                               = 0.93

Therefore, The  value of each option using a one-period binomial model is 0.93

mojhsa [17]

Answer: 0.1282

Explanation:

Total number of possible outcome( total candidates) = 13

Total number of men = 13 - 8 = 5

Total number of women = 8

Number of candidates to be selected = 2

Find the probability that both are men :

Probability of 1st candidate being a male = required outcome ÷ total possible outcome = 5/13

Probability of second candidate being a male, means we now have 4 men left and a total of 12 = 4/12

Therefore, P = (5/13) × (4/12)

P = (5/13) ×(1/3) = 5/39 = 0.1282

ahrayia [7]

Answer:  $1,031 million

Explanation:

Given that,

Retained earnings(2010) = $14,329 million

Retained earnings(2009) = $13,157 million

Net income(2010) = $2,203 million

Amount of dividends = Retained earnings(2009) + Net income(2010) - Retained earnings(2010)

                                   = $13,157 million + $2,203 million - $14,329 million

                                   = $1,031 million

Therefore, amount of dividends did Colgate-Palmolive pay to its shareholders in 2010 is $1,031 million.

padilas [110]

Answer:

Total monthly saving = $1,315

Explanation:

Given:

                         Oakland     Los Angeles  

Cost Housing       $565        $1200

Food                     $545        $655

Health Care          $245        $495

Taxes                    $450         $625

Other Necessities $350        $495

Find:

Total monthly saving

Computation:

Saving in house = $1200 - $565 = $635

Saving in food = $655 - $545 = $110

Saving in health care = $495 - $245 = $250

Saving in taxes = $625 - $450 = $175

Saving in necessities = $495 - $350 = $145

Total monthly saving = $635+$110+$250+$175+$145

Total monthly saving = $1,315
