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

In recent years the cost of producing organic produce in the United States has decreased largely due technological advancement.
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Suppose technological advancement has helped in decreasing the cost of producing organic produce. This means that the farmers can now produce more at the same cost. As a result, the supply of organic produce will increase. This will cause a rightward shift in the supply curve.  

At the same time, the demand for organic produce has increased. This will lead to a rightward shift in the demand curve.  

The rightward shift in both demand and supply curve will lead to an increase in the equilibrium quantity. The change in the price level depends on the extent of the change in demand and supply.

                        Cash                                                                     $22,000  

                    Being payment for new component expected to increase the

                    equipment’s productivity by 10% a year

      2.           Equipment Repairs expenses      $6,250

                       Cash                                                                          $6,250

                    Being payment for equipment repair

     3.            Equipment                                       $14,870

                       Cash                                                                          $14,870

                    Being payment for equipment repair to prolong the useful life

                    the asset

Explanation:

The initial cost incurred in acquiring an asset is debited to asset account, subsequently every other cost spent on the assets are either expenses against the earning of that period or expensed over many years over the useful life of the asset.

Capitalization is the recognition of an expense as an asset in the balance sheet rather than expenses in the income statement.

The payment of $22,000 paid for the equipment productivity must be capitalized, that is added to the cost of the asset because it is a cost that is  expected to increase the equipment’s productivity by 10% a year.

The  $6,250  paid for normal repair is a revenue items which is to be expensed against the earning of that period.

The $14,870 paid for repairs which will increase the useful life of the equipment from four to five years is a capital expenditure which should capitalized, that is added to the cost of the asset.
