The common stock of the P.U.T.T. Corporation has been trading in a narrow price range for the past month, and you are convinced

it is going to break far out of that range in the next 3 months. You do not know whether it will go up or down, however. The current price of the stock is $125 per share, and the price of a 3-month call option at an exercise price of $125 is $6.93
a. If the risk-free interest rate is 5% per year, what must be the price of a 3-month put option on P.U.T.T. stock at an exercise price of $140?

Answer:

A) according to put call parity:

price of put option = call option - stock price + [future value / (1 + risk free rate)ⁿ]

put = $6.93 - $125 + [$140 / (1 + 5%)¹/⁴] = $6.93 - $125 +$138.30 = $20.23

B)

you have to purchase both a put and call option ⇒ straddle

the total cost of the investment = $6.93 + $20.23 = $27.16, this way you can make a profit if the stock price increases higher than $125 + $20.23 = $145.23 or decreases below than $125 - $20.23 = $104.77

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

From this information one can conclude that last period the variable overhead efficiency (quantity) variance was <u>unfavorable.</u>

Explanation:

The variable overhead efficiency variance measures the difference between the actual and budgeted hours worked with respect to standard variable overhead rate per hour.

Variable overhead efficiency variance can be calculated thus:

Actual labor hours less budgeted labor hours x Hourly rate for standard variable overhead

If the time it takes to manufacture a product and the time budgeted for it matches or performs well, the labor efficiency is favorable.

Variable overhead efficiency variance is deemed unfavorable when it takes the company more time than budgeted to produce. This also shows labor efficiency variance was unfavorable.

Answer:

NPV =  $20,040.35  

Explanation

The net present value NPV) of a project is the present value of cash inflow less the present value of cash outflow of the project.

NPV = PV of cash inflow - PV of cash outflow

We can set out the cash flows of the project using the table below:

Annual net cash inflow = Savings - Technician cost = 61,427- 20,000

                                       = $41,427

PV of Cash flow= $41,427  × (1-(1.12^(-5))/0.12=  149,335.06  

PV of salvage value = 1.12^(-5)×$6,641 =  3768.281749

NPV = 149,335.06  + 3,768.281  -133,063= 20,040.35

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Average wage = $60,000

Number of years worked in the firm = 28 years

Defined benefit pension plan rate = 2.3%

Annual defined benefit pension plan = $1,380 ($60,000 * 2.3%)

Total benefit to be received = $38,640 ($1,380*28) or ($60,000 *28 * 2.3%).

b) This employee is expected to receive the total benefit of $38,640 for serving the firm for 28 long years under the defined pension plan, given the plan rate of 2.3% of the average wage.
