dway between x and z. a total of 400 options are traded. the difference between x and y is $13. the difference in the prices of the options with strike prices of z and y is $5.03. the difference in the prices of the options with strike prices of y and x is $6.67. what is the maximum net gain (after the cost of the options is taken into account)

Answer:

<em>$1006 </em>

Explanation:

A long butterfly is created by following these steps

  •  Long 1 call option for strike X ( highest premium say C)
  • Short 2 call option for Strike Y (premium =C-6.67 )
  •  Long 1 call option for strike Z (premium = C-6.67 - 5.03 = C-11.70 where X<Y<Z

Here, Y-X = Z-Y =$11.70

<u>i) whenever the price at maturity goes below the price of x ( no call option is executed )</u>

payoff =  2*(C-6.67) -C-(C-11.7) = - 13.34 + 11.70 = - 1.64

<u>ii) when the price at maturity is between X and Y, only call with strike X is executed </u>

hence  payoff = -1.64 +(P-X) where P is the Price at maturity

p - x = y-x = 11.70

hence maximum payoff = - 1.64 +  11.70 = $10.06

<u>iii) When the price is between Y and Z , only call with strike X and Y are executed.</u>

hence, payoff = -1.64 + (P-X)  -2* (P-Y) = -1.64 +( 2Y - X - P) and this value decreases as P increases

the minimum payoff occurs when P=Z

So, maximum payoff = -1.64 + (Z-X) - 2*(Z-Y) = -1.64 + 23.4 - 2*11.7 = -$1.64

<u>iv) When the price at maturity is more than Z , all calls are executed</u>

hence, payoff = -1.64 +(P-X) -2* (P-Y) + (P-Z) = -1.64+(2Y-X-Z)

=  -1.64+(Y-X -(Z-Y)) = -1.64+(11.7 - 11.70)

= -$1.64  

 the maximum payoff occurs when P=Y

considering the  four options  traded the maximum payoff = $10.06

<em>Finally determine the maximum net gain when 400 options are traded</em>

<em>= 10.06 * 400 / 4 </em>

<em>= 10.06 * 100 =  $1006 </em>

Starting from a​ full-employment equilibrium, an increase in aggregate demand​ ______, and creates​ ______ gap.
zavuch27 [327]

Starting from a​ full-employment equilibrium, an increase in aggregate demand​ increases, and creates​ an inflationary gap.

In an economy, the total quantity of demand for all finished goods and services is measured as aggregate demand. A measure of aggregate demand is the total amount of money spent on certain goods and services at a particular price level and period.

The entire demand for products and services at any given price level throughout a specific period is referred to as aggregate demand in macroeconomics. Since the two indicators are derived in the same way, aggregate demand over the long run equals gross domestic product (GDP). A country's gross domestic product (GDP) reflects all the products and services that are produced there, whereas aggregate demand refers to consumer demand for the same goods.

laiz [17]

A) makes an affirmation of fact or promise concerning the goods that becomes part of the basis of the bargain.

B) uses descriptive terms as a part of the bargaining process, but the buyer does not take it into consideration when making the purchase.

C) sells goods meant for use for ordinary purposes.

D) avoids using a sample or model as the basis for the contract.

Answer:

The correct choice is A)

An express warranty is created in the contract when a supplier makes a promise concerning the goods that the buyer can hold on to as an incentive to purchase the product.

Explanation:

For example, if a consumer buys a Laptop online, but when it arrives the item is the wrong specifications, wrong color, or is dented or damaged in anyway, an <em>express warranty</em> might entitle the consumer to a refund or replacement.

This warranty usually is stated upfront prior to or during the execution of the sales transaction.

Cheers!

A customer has $20,000 to invest, but needs immediate access to the funds to pay a variety of bills that will arrive over the ne
tatiyna

Answer:

A. Money Market checking account

Explanation:

A money market account represents a savings account with some features of a checking account provided by a bank. Herein, a customer deposits money, and such funds are invested into money market instruments which are highly liquid, such as commercial papers, treasury bills, certificate of deposits, etc.

Such accounts provide debit card and checks and allow a certain number of withdrawals every month. The rate of interest offered under these accounts is usually higher than the ordinary savings account.

In the given case, the customer has $20,000 to invest and also requires immediate access to the funds to pay his bills. The best recommendation would be to deposit such funds to a money market checking account, which would provide him with access i.e liquidity, a higher rate of interest than on savings account and safety of investment.

It is noteworthy that all other options specified are not as liquid as money market checking account since, those alternatives either require considerable time in redeeming and selling or do not provide immediate access to funds.

Rupesh wants to buy a new BMW priced at $54,000. He makes a down payment of 20% of the original price. He also trades-in his old
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The approximate payment at the end of every month will be $603.22.

Explanation:

Since the payment is going to be made at the end of every month, this can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value or the balance = Price of BMW - Down payment - Old car sales amount = $54,000 - ($54,000 * 20%) - $10,000 = $33,200

P = Monthly payment = ?

r = Monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12 = 3.45% / 12 = 0.0345 /

12 = 0.002875

n = number of months = 60

Substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for P, we have:

$33,200 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.002875))^60) / 0.002875)

$33,200 = P * 55.0377058660197

P = $33,200 / 55.0377058660197

P = $603.22

Therefore, the approximate payment at the end of every month will be $603.22.
