An investor believes that there will be a big jump in a stock price, but is uncertain as to the direction. Identify six differen
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Consider the following explanation.

Explanation:

The six different strategies (spreads or combinations) the investor can follow:

1)short Butterfly spread: it’s a spread with selling one call option with the lowest strike price(XL),purchasing two call options with the medium strike price(XM) and  selling one call option with the highest strike price (XH) , XL<XM<XH. The strike price (XM) is generally chosen such that its equal to the stock price and options are of same maturity. The strategy shall generate the net income from the selling of calls when the stock price deviated from the strike price XM due to the high volatility. A high jump either way guarantees a net income.

2) The Straddle combination with long one put and long 1 call with the same strike price X and maturity. Its payoff depends on the deviation of the strike price if the big jump either way is expected then either the put or the call expires in the money so that the moneyness(payoffs) covers all the premiums paid for the call and put and there are profits. The high jump either way guarantees a big payoff from either the put or the call.

3)In the Strangle combination there is one long call with strike price (Xc) and one long put with strike price Xp,this combination is cheaper to generate due to purchase of OTM(out of the money) options. If the big jump either way is expected then either the put or the call expires in the money so that the moneyness (payoffs) covers all the premiums paid for the call and put and there are profits. The high jump either way guarantees a big payoff from either the put or the call. It’s easier to cover all the lesser premiums paid for the call and put and generate profits with a big move.

4) The Strip combination consists of 1 call+2 put with same exercise price and maturity. If the big jump either way is expected then either the two put or the call expires in the money so that the moneyness covers all the premiums paid for the call and put and there are profits. The payoff generated by the 2 puts is much more when the stock moves downwards as compared to when the stock moves upwards. Investor is sure of the uncertain directional big jump but thinks that the probability of downward move is greater than the upward move.

5) The Strap combination consists of 2 calls+1 put with same exercise price and maturity. If the big jump either way is expected then either the 1 put or the 2 calls expires in the money so that the moneyness covers all the premiums paid for the call and put and there are profits. The payoff generated by the 2 calls is much more when the stock moves upwards as compared to when the stock moves downwards. Investor is sure of the uncertain directional big jump but thinks that the probability of upward move is greater than the downward move.

6) Short Calendar spread: short shorter term call and at the same time short longer term call therefore the income is generated by the big move from the premiums of the calls and differences in the maturity.

Gary did not pay his past three payments on his mortgage. What is the possible consequence he is facing?
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer: Foreclosure

Foreclosure refers to a bank’s act of taking possession of a mortgaged property when the mortgage holder fails to make the monthly mortgage payments.  

Foreclosure occurs when a home owner does not pay his monthly loan instalments for three consecutive months.

It is a legal process in which the home owner loses the ownership of the property and the banker gets the right to sell off the property in order to make up the loss on account of non payment.

The Route 66 Gift Shop, which records sales and sales tax separately, had sales on account of $1,500 and cash sales of $1,000. T
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer: D. Debit to Accounts Receivable of $1,620 and a debit to Cash of $1,080.

Explanation:

Route 66 Gift Shop records sales and sales tax separately so we would have to account for both of them in the amount recorded in the Journal Entry.

For the Accounts Receivables therefore the figure we would record is,

= 1,500 + 1500(0.08)

= $1,620

For the Cash Sales would be

= 1,000 + 1000(0.08)

= $1,080

Therefore option D is correct.

Which items are consequences of globalized trade for a developed nation that begins to import more goods and services from less-
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Globalization has resulted in great opportunities for businesses from less developed countries to take a hold over the more and much bigger markets from all over the world. Hence, the business over there has the opportunity for better capital flow, human capital, technology, larger export, and low-cost imports, And since they export their products at lower rates, the developed countries import from them more goods and services to save capital.

However,

1. These products lack quality.

2, And they are more prone to defects as well as wear and tear, as a developed country's technology is far superior to those of developing countries. However, now the developing countries are picking up the speed, and coming up with better technology to match that of developed, because of better education facilities, and proper training.
