Answer:
6.11%
Explanation:
For computing the variance, first we have to determine the expected return which is shown below:
= (Expected return of the boom × weightage of boom) + (expected return of the normal economy × weightage of normal economy) + (expected return of the recession × weightage of recession)
= (12% × 5%) + (10% × 85%) + (2% × 10%)
= 0.6% + 8.5% + 0.2%
= 9.30%
Now the variance would equal to the
= Weightage × (Return - Expected Return) ^2
For boom:
= 5% × (12% - 9.3%) ^2
= 0.3645
For normal economy:
= 85% × (10% - 9.3%) ^2
= 0.4165
For recession:
= 10% × (2% - 9.3%) ^2
= 5.329
So, the total variance would be
= 0.3645 + 0.4165 + 5.329
= 6.11%
Answer: $700,000
Explanation: Retained earnings is the amount of earnings left with the company after paying for dividends of common stockholders.

where,
retained earnings = net income (1- payout ratio)
= $525,000 (1 - 60%)

=$700,000
Answer:
Buy at a lower strike put option or sell at a higher call option
Explanation:
100 shares of apple stock bought at $300
premium of put option ( cost ) = $12
Put option = $300
<u>What can be done to reduce the cost of protective put position </u>
To reduce the cost we can either buy at a lower strike put option or sell at a higher call option
Buying at a lower strike put option price ( < $300 )
This way premium will be reduced but this will not hedge against small fall in price
Sell at a higher call option
This way the premium charged will be reduced but if the price rises above the entry price on expiration then the gains made above the price will be foregone .
