Answer:

0.6

Explanation:

Correlation r = 0.9,

Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity A, σA = 2,

Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity B, σB = 3

The hedge ratio will be calculated using the formula

Hedge ratio=r×σA÷σB

Hedge ratio=0.9×2÷3

Hedge ratio = 0.6

Therefore, the hedge ratio used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A is 0.6.

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": True.

Explanation:

The cost principle or historical cost establishes that an asset must be recorded at its face value at the moment when the asset is acquired. That cost is recognized as the value of the asset unless there is reasonable proof to state the opposite. Under this principle, any organization can register in its books an asset that has not been part of a transaction yet.

The next dividend payment by Wyatt, Inc., will be $2.30 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 4.
balandron [24]

Answer:

Required return 10.27%

Dividend yield 5.77%

Expected capital gains yield 4.5%

Explanation:

Calculation for required return using this formula

A. R = (D1 / P0) + g

Let plug in the formula

Required return = ($2.30 / $39.85) + .045

Required return = .1027*100

Required return= 10.27%

Therefore Required return is 10.27%

Calculation for dividend yield using this formula

Dividend yield = D1 / P0

Let plug in the formula

Dividend yield = $2.30 / $39.85

Dividend yield = .0577*100

Dividend yield = 5.77%

Therefore Dividend yield is 5.77%

Calculation for the expected capital gains yield

Using this formula

Expected capital gains yield=Required return-Dividend yield

Let plug in the formula

Expected capital gains yield=10.27%-5.77%

Expected capital gains yield=4.5%

Therefore Expected capital gains yield is 4.5%
