Answer:

200

Explanation:

Base on the scenario been described in the question, the position required if the portfolio has a beta 1 is been calculated as follows .

number of contracts required is

Number of contract =10,000,000/(500×100)

Number of contract =10,000,000/50,000

Number of contract =200.

A long put position is needed because the contracts must provide a positive payoff when the market reduces.

Answer:

Journal:

Dec. 31, 2022:

Debit Depreciation Expense $18,600

Credit Accumulated Depreciation $18,600

To record depreciation expense for the year.

Explanation:

a) Depreciation charge for each of the 3 years, calculated as ($190,000 - $22,000)/10 = $16,800

2019: $16,800

2020: $16,800

2021: $16,800

Accumulated Depreciation to date = $50,400 ($16,800*3)

b) Book Value on January 1, 2022 = $139,600 ($190,000 - $50,400)

c) New Depreciation charge from 2022 = $18,600 ($139,600 - $28,000) /6 years, the remaining useful life based on the revised estimate.

d) There is adjusting journal entry.  Depreciation is an estimate based on judgement and past events.  Judgement can change to address current events.  So, there is no need adjusting the entries for the previous three years.
