Answer:
(B) Exercise Price:$50.00, Number of Underlying Shares per Contract of XYZ: 100
Explanation:
The declaration of the dividends will not affect the exercise price of the call, it will still be $50 per stock. Also, the number of stocks included in the call will not change because a cash dividend is declared, they will still be 100 stocks included in the call contract. The cash dividend affects the market price of the stock, but not the call or put options.
Answer:
The answer is: D) They attract the largest FDI from MNEs. If you consider FDI´s share of the country´s GDP
Explanation:
The countries that are located in the base of the global economic pyramid are all underdeveloped and poor countries, so no North America, Europe, Japan, China, or Australia. If you consider the total nominal amount of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) by Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) in the world, the countries that receive the most of them usually have large economies or high GDP per capita (only Brazil is an exception) like the US, China, Belgium, Canada, France, Russia, Singapore, etc.
But if you consider FDI as a percentage of a country´s GDP the list of receiving countries varies a lot. The following is the list of the 10 countries with the greatest share of FDI to GDP in 2011 (UN 2011 report)
- Liberia
- Mongolia
- Hong Kong SAR (China)
- Sierra Leone
- Luxembourg
- Singapore
- Congo republic
- Belgium
- Chad
- Guinea
In this list you can find 6 countries that are extremely poor but very rich in natural resources (in this case minerals). So if consider the relative size of FDI in those economies, then it´s huge. Most FDI done on poor countries is directed to mining or oil corporations.
Answer:
I) Days sales outstanding (DSO) for all customers? 48.7days
= (53*0.9)+(10*0.1) = 48.7 days
II) Net sales? $166.600
The Net sales = Gross sales - sales allowance
The discount amount due for the 10% discount customers = 2% of the 10% of 170 mn ==> 0.02 * 0.1 * 170 ===> 0.34 mn
∴ The Net sales = 17 - 0.34 mn = 16.66 mn
Amount paid by discount customers? $13.600
Explanation:
I. General Credit Policy Information
Credit stamps 2/10 Net 30
Days sales outstanding (DSO) for all customers 48.7days
DSO for customers who take the discount (10%) 10days
DSO for customers who forgo the discount (90%) 53days
II. Annual Credit Sales and Costs ($ millions)
Gross sales $170.000
Net sales? $166.600
Amount paid by discount customers $13.600
Amount paid by non discounted customers $153.000
Variable operating costs (82% of gross sales) $139.40
Bad debts $0.0
Credit evaluation & collection costs (10% of gross sales) $17.00
Answer:
A) The amount of the premium in fair insurance policy that replaces Beths car, must be equal to the probability or expectation of claim of car theft.
Therefore, the Premium amount = 20000 x (1/200)
= 20000 (0.005)
= $100
B) If an Insurance company charges 0.6% for replacing a stolen car, then the policy will cost beth:
20000* 0.6%
= 12,000/100
= $ 120
C) To be risk-neutral means to be indifferent to the risk. This means that Beth would be indifferent. She most likely will be focused on maximizing value for money. In other words, she will NOT pay for the insurance policy in part b because part A provides her with the exact (or fair) premium for her insurance.
D) The moral hazard problem is this, people tend to become more careless with an insurance policy in place. This moral hazard arises form the knowledge that there is an insurance policy that caters to their risks.
As a matter of practice, therefore, insurance companies factor this increased risk into their premiums. Where the premium was supposed to be $100, they may charge $120.
In summary, it means that Beth most likely will move from becoming risk neutral to becoming (to a certain degree) more risk loving.
Cheers!
