Answer:

The expected return on this investment is 10.500%

Explanation:

The expected return is the return anticipated by the investors based on the different circumstances and how the return can change under these circumstances. The expected return can be calculated by multiplying the probability of each circumstance by the return under that circumstance.

Expected return = pA * rA  +  pB * rB + ... + pN * rN

Where,

  • p represents probability of each event
  • r represents return under each event

Expected return = 0.3 * 0.25  +  0.1 * 0.15  +  0.3 * 0.1  +  0.3 * -0.05

Expected return = 0.105 or 10.500%

The time value of a call option is I) the difference between the option's price and the value it would have if it were expiring
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

I) The difference between the option's price and the value it would have if it were expiring immediately

Explanation:

Time value in options trading simply refers to the part of an option's premium (cost or price) which is attributed to the amount of the time remaining until expiration.

An addition of the option's time value and intrinsic value equals the total premium of an option.

Therefore, we can mathematically state that:

Time Value = Option Premuim(Price) - Intrinsic Value.

The Option Premuim is an amount of money known as the price or cost.

In an exchange for the right granted by the option, an option buyer pays for the premium to an option seller.

Generally, it is seen that the more time that remains until the expiration, the greater the time value of the option. This happens as a result of investors willing to pay a higher premium for more time since the longer time taken to execute contract will be profitable due to a favorable move in the underlying asset.

Also, the lesser time remaining on an option will result in lesser willingness of investors to pay because the probability for profitability is slim.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

$11,895,000

Explanation:

Expected annual earnings before tax = $21,000,000

Debt issue = $30,000,000

Interest rate = 9%

Annual Interest expenses = $30,000,000 × 9%

= $2,700,000

EBT = EBIT - Interest expenses

= $21,000,000 - $2,700,000

= $18,300,000

Net income = $18,300,000 × (1 - 35%)

= $11,895,000

Cash flows available to equity holders after recapitalization will be $11,895,000.
