Explanation:
Incomplete word <em>"and if the spot price in September proves to be $2,300."</em>
<em />
Note that Call options will be exercised only if the price on expiry is greater than strike price
Strike price = $2400
Premium paid = $53 for each contract, so the total premium paid = $530 for 10 contracts
<u>CASE 1</u>
Price = $2600
As price on expiry=2600 > Strike price=2400
Call option will be exercised.
Company will pay = $2400 * 10+530 = $24,530
<u>CASE 2</u>
Price = $2300
As price on expiry=2300 < Strike price=2400
Call option will not be exercised and will purchase from open market
Company will pay = $2300 * 10+530 = $23,530
Answer:
I would use survey research to determine the general opinion, positive or negative, on the feature from the general public.
Explanation:
When conducting any survey research, it is important to sample a wide variety of people. In this case, you would want to survey the general population, not just former Mercedes customers.
I would design a focus group survey with a series of questions where participants can choose from a range, 0-5, on how much they agree with a certain statement.
At the beginning of the survey, participants would read a brief paragraph explaining the features on the new car before continuing to the part where they record their responses.
Once the survey is conducted, the data can be analyzed. If the majority, say 70%, of all people surveyed agree strongly that a self driving car is a good idea and that the world is ready then you can assume that the general population is in fact ready.

Answer:
I would recommend Machine 7745
Explanation:
Machine 7745
initial outlay = $8,000
operational costs per year = $300
depreciation cost per year = $700
salvage value (at year 10) = $1,000
total costs per year (1 - 9) = $1,000
total costs year 10 = $0
using an excel spreadsheet, the IRR = 2%. Since you are analyzing costs only, not incremental revenue, then you must select the project with the lowest IRR.
Machine A37Y
initial outlay = $8,000
operational costs per year = $260
depreciation cost per year = $800
total costs per year (1 - 10) = $1,060
using an excel spreadsheet, the IRR = 4%
