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

Which of the following statements is correct with respect to economic incentives to release financial information?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

If investors do not have adequate information about the company they are investing, they would demand an higher rate of return. This would increase the cost of raising capital. So, financial managers who want to raise capital at a cheap rate would have the incentive to disclose information

Kingbird, Inc. uses the percentage-of-receivables basis to record bad debt expense and concludes that 3% of accounts receivable
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

(a) The adjusting journal entry to record bad debt expense for the year:

Debit Bad debt expense  $5,640

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts  $5,640

<em>(To record bad debt expense)</em>

(b) If the allowance for doubtful accounts had a debit balance of $870 instead of a credit balance of $2,950, The appropriate journal entries are:

Debit Bad debt expense $9,460

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts  $9,460

<em>(To record bad debt expense)</em>

Explanation:

To arrive at the bad debt expense for Kingbird, Inc., we simply need to calculate 3% of accounts receivable, as follows:

2% of $429,500 = $8,590

Since the allowance for doubtful accounts has a credit balance of $2,950, the bad debt expense will be: $8,590 - $2,950 = $5,640. The appropriate journal entries are as provided above.

However, if the allowance for doubtful accounts had a debit balance of $870 instead of a credit balance of $2,950, the bad debt expense will be: $8,590 + $870 = $9,460. The addition is necessary in order to reinstate the allowance account to $8,590. The appropriate journal entries are as provided above.
