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?

b. What would be a simple options strategy to exploit your conviction about the stock price

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

spayn [35]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below

1. The adjusted balance in the retained earning is shown below:

= beginning balance of retained earning + adjusted net income

where,

beginning balance of retained earning is $860,000

And, the adjusted net income is

= $68,000 × (1 - 0.35)

= $44,200

So, the adjusted balance in the retained earning is

= $860,000 + $44,200

= $904,200

2. Now the journal entry is

Inventory $68,000

      To Retained earning $44,200

      To Tax payable $23,800   ($68,000  × 35%)

(Being the adjustment of ending inventory is recorded)

blondinia [14]

Answer:

There is a loss on buying from outside supplier ,Peach's offer should not be accepted.

Explanation:

Variable cost is a cost that varies with number of units produced or sold so it is always a relevant cost while making decision.

Fixed cost remains constant irrespective of number of units so it is a irrelevant cost unless avoidable.So in the given case ,fixed cost $70 is irrelevant since same will be incurred whether purchased or manufactured.

Incremental savings  

Saving in variable cost   220

saving in fixed cost   25

Total saving                   245

less: Incremental cost (270)

Incremental profit /(loss) on buying from outside supplier (25)

Total loss 25*5900= -147500

Therefore, There is a loss on buying from outside supplier ,Peach's offer should not be accepted.
