Answer:

The trader exercises the option and loses money on the trade if the stock price is between $30 and $33 at option maturity.  

Explanation:

A call option is the right to buy an asset at an agreed price on the maturity date. This agreed price is known as the strike price.

In the given scenario, the strike price is $30. The trader pays an additional $3 for the right to exercise the option, thus paying a total of $33 for the option.

Now, if the asset price on maturity date is greater than $30, the trader shall exercise the option and buy the asset. This is because the market price of the asset is greater than the price the trader pays for it, resulting in a favorable situation for the trader.

However, the trader paid a total of $33 for the stock. Hence, the trader shall lose money on the trade as long as the asset price is below $33.

Therefore,  if the asset price upon maturity is between $30 and $33, the trader shall exercise the option but lose money on the trade.

Rachel entered into a contract to purchase a 2004 Dodge from Hanna, who lived in the neighboring apartment. When a dispute arose
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Hanna is correct.

Explanation:

The sale of the 2004 Dodge cannot be construed to be a sale of goods under the Uniform Commercial Code since this law covers sales of goods by merchants.  Hanna cannot be said to be a merchant of 2004 Dodge as she is not known to be in the business for the purchase and sale of cars.  Therefore, the case should be adjudicated under the common law.  What has taken place in this instance is the exchange of a personal asset.  Hanna cannot make a trading profit from the sale, but a capital gain.  Rachel is not correct.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

B. $1,639 ​

To do arbitraje we will ask at Bank A for $0.305

and then bid in Bank B at $0.306
