Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
a.
Unleaded fuel prices are expected to fall by June 2019 according to future demand forecasts.
Since the future price is less than the spot price, it would be better for long-term buyers who can wait for the price to increase because the market is currently in BACKWARDATION. This happens due to a short-term disparity in demand and supply.
b.
If the information in this sector is reliable and impartial, the expected June price will most likely be similar to the real price we will see in June.
It is reliable if the market is accurate and impartial, i.e. the market research on which knowledge flows.
The prices of goods are either integrated or expressed in such a flow of knowledge.
So, if it's unbiased and reliable, the forecast prices would be reasonably similar to the real future price.
Answer: $498
Explanation:
A Put is an option that will only be exercised if the price of the underlying security which is the stock in this case, falls below the current price of $58.
This means that we will not include the 70% chance of increase in our calculation.
In a contract, there are 100 shares.
Expected profit = Contract price - (Prob. of dropping by 10% * 10% of stock) - (Prob. of dropping by 20% * 20% of stock)
= 730 - ( 20% * 10% * 58 * 100) - (10% * 20% * 58 * 100)
= 730 - 116 - 116
= $498
Answer:
$85
Explanation:
Costco Medical Supply's inventory:
Surgical Eq - Surgical Supp - Rehab Eq - Rehab Supp
Selling price $260 $100 $340 $165
Cost $170 $90 $250 $162
Costs to sell $30 $15 $25 $10
If we apply the net realizable value rule, the value of surgical supplies would be:
NRV = $100 = $15 = $85
the NRV is also the lower of cost since $85 < $90
The proceeds that UWD received will be as follows:
Number of shares 1,350,000
share price $24.62
Amount realized from the shares:
1,350,000×24.62
=33,237,000
Total amount to be deducted will be:
(Commission+Accounting fees+legal fees+printing costs+selling expenses)
commission=$1,661,850
Accounting fees=$450,000
legal fees=$1,225, 000
printing cost=$275,000
selling expenses=$300,000
Total=(1,661,850+450,000+1,225,000+275,000+300,000)
=$3,911,850
The amount received will be:
33,237,000-3,911,850
=$29,325,150
