Answer:

B) Debit: Cash Dividends 50,000 Credit: Dividends Payable - Common Stock 50,000

Explanation:

At the time of declaration of dividends the proper journal entry should be:

  • Dr Retained Earnings 50,000
  • Cr Dividends Payable - Common Stock 50,000

You can use the Cash Dividends account, which is a temporary account, although it's not the best option. This account is used only when companies have not been making a profit before (retained earnings = 0), or for new companies.  

Since no payment is done, the cash account is not affected (eliminating options A, C and D).

Dividends Payable is a liability account and since it increases, it should be debited.

Cash Dividends is a temporary equity account that is debited once the company declares the dividend distribution.

A bank has written a call option on one stock and a put option on another stock. For the first option the stock price is 50, the
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

10-Day 99% VaR = 3.61

Explanation:

Data Given:

For First Option:

Stock Price = 50

Strike Price = 51

Volatility = 28% per annum

Time to maturity = 9 months

For Second Option:

Stock Price = 20

Strike Price = 19

Volatility = 25% per annum

Time to maturity = 12 months or 1 year

Risk Free Rate = 6% per annum

Correlation = 0.4

Find 10-day 99% VaR.

Solution:

First of all we need to refer the DerivaGem Model to dig out the change in price equation for both the options.

So, according to DerivaGem Model, We have following data:

For First Option:

Value  = -5.413

Delta Value = -0.589

For Second Option:

Value = -1.014

Delta = -0.284

Change in Price = (Delta value of First Option x Stock Price)Y1 + (Delta value of the second option x Stock Price)Y2

Change in Price = (-0.589 x 50)Y1 + (-0.284 x 20)Y2

So, We will get the Change in Price Linear Equation for both the options.

Change in Price = -29.45Y1 -5.68Y2

Now, we have to calculate the Daily Volatility Percentage.

Formula:

Daily Volatility Percentage = Volatility/ Square root of number of days active in annum

Number of Days Active = 252

Volatility for First Option = 28%

Volatility for Second Option = 25%

Daily Volatility Percentage for First Option = 28%/\sqrt{252}

Daily Volatility Percentage for First Option = 0.0176

Similarly,

Daily Volatility Percentage for Second Option = 25%/\sqrt{252}

Daily Volatility Percentage for Second Option = 0.0157

Now, utilizing the above calculated data, we can find the one-day variance of change in price.

1-Day Variance =(29.45^{2} *0.0176^{2}) + (5.68^{2} * 0.0157^{2}) - (2 * 29.45 * 0.0176 * 5.68 * 0.0157 * 0.4)

Solving the above equation:

We get:

1-Day Variance = 0.2396

Now, we have to find the standard deviation of 1-Day Variance:

SD of 1-Day Variance = \sqrt{0.2396}

SD of 1-Day Variance = 0.4895

So,

Now, in order to find the value of one day 99% VaR from the table, we have all the prerequisites.

So,

Value of One day 99% VaR from table = 2.33

But we need 10-Day 99% VaR.

So, number of days = 10

Hence,

10-Day 99% VaR = 0.4895 * 2.33 * \sqrt{10}

10-Day 99% VaR = 3.61

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question is option b) Separation of functions.

Explanation:

In a retail environment , the cash management process starts when a customer pays the cashier for the product or services he or she has purchased. The cashier then counts the cash in till drawer and then at end of the day cashier takes that cash to the third party who can be either manager or owner or a supervisor. Then cashier would receive a receipt against the cash for till drawer.

Now supervisor would collect cash from all the cashier and prepare the cash to be deposited in bank. So from this process it is quite clear that here there is separation of functions here and while all other options given in the question are present in the process.
