Answer:

48

Explanation:

N(d2): probability of call option being exercised

So current stock price = 100

K strike price = 100

r risk free rate = 0% = 0.05

s: standard deviation = 20%

t: time to maturity = 3month = 0.25 year

di – In(So/K) + (r +0.5 * 5%) ** S*t0.5

d1 = 0.05

d2 = dl - 5*10.5

d2 = -0.05

N(d2) = normsdist(d2) = 0.48

Pay-off per option = 1

No. of options sold = 100

Expected pay-off = -0.48*1*100 = -48

Therefore go long on 48 shares so that if stock price becomes 101, pay-off from stocks = 48*(101-100) = 48

Explanation:

Calculation for the total amount of indirect manufacturing cost incurred

First step is to find the fixed manufacturing overhead portion

Fixed manufacturing overhead portion=$3.00 *5000 units

Fixed manufacturing overhead portion =$15,000

Second step is to calculate the indirect manufacturing cost if 6,000 units are produced using this formula

Indirect manufacturing cost =Fixed manufacturing overhead portion

+ Variable portion

Let plug in the formula

Indirect manufacturing cost=$15,000 + ($1.30*6,000 units)

Indirect manufacturing cost=$15,000+$7,800

Indirect manufacturing cost=$22,800

Therefore the total amount of indirect manufacturing cost incurred is closest to $22,800

where f is the flotation cost in percentage terms i.e 5%

adjusted price of the stock is =$92.50*(1-5%)=$ 87.88  

Cost of preferred stock=$8/$87.88*100  = 9.10%
