Answer:

sell 1.714

Explanation:

The computation of the number of contract buy or sold to hedge the position is shown below:

As we know that

Number of contracts = Hedge Ratio    

Hedge Ratio = Change in Portfolio Value ÷ Profit on one future contract

where,

Change in the value of the portfolio is

For that we need to do following calculations

Expected Drop in Index is

= (1200 - 1400) ÷ 1400    

= -14.29%    

And, Expected Loss on the portfolio is

= Beta × Expected index drop

= 0.60 × (-14.29%)    

= -8.57%    

So, the change is

= 1000000 × (-8.57%)

= -$85,700  

And, the profit is

= 200 × 250 multiplier

= 50,000

So, the hedging position is

= -$85,700 ÷ 50,000      

= -1.714  

This reflects the selling position

Pools purchased $ 60 comma 000 of 14​% DMH bonds on January​ 1, 2018​, at a price of 159.5 when the market rate of interest was
Damm [24]

Answer:

Initial purchase of the bonds on 1st January 2016

Assuming that $60,000 bonds includes 600 bonds with face value of $100 each

Now, Lamar insurance purchased these bonds at a discount price of $159.5 each bond.

So, the total amount invested by Lamar insurance = 600 bonds * $159.5 = $95,700

Therefore journal entry for recording purchase of bonds on 1st January 2016 will be,

Investments in bonds A/c Debit $95,700

To, Bank/Cash A/c credit $95,700

Note: The bonds have been issues at a discount and it seems to be reasonable owing to the fact that the market interest rate is 6% , whereas the bonds have a interest rate of 14%.

Interest entry on the first interest payment date of 1st July 2016

Interest amount to be received on 1st July 2016 = ($60,000 *14%)*6/12 = $4.200

Since interest is paid semi annually, therefore we have taken interest for 6 months.

Journal entry will be:

Bank A/c Debit $4,200

To, Interest on bonds A/c Credit $4,200

Q 8.2: On June 15th, Buehler Company sells merchandise on account to Chaz Co. for $1,000, terms 2/10, n/30. On June 20th, Chaz C
Pavel [41]

Answer:

C : $686

Explanation:

The computation of the cash received amount is shown below:

= (Sale value of merchandise - returned merchandise) × (100 - discount rate)

= ($1,000 - $300) × (100 - 2%)

= $700 × 98%

= $686

Since the payment is made within 30 days, so the company could avail the discount of 2% and the return goods should be deducted so that the actual amount of cash received can come.
