Answer:

≈66 shares

Explanation:

Given data:

Current price ( S ) = $25

strike price ( K ) = $30

risk free rate ( r ) = 4% = 0.04

Standard deviation ( std ) = 30% = 0.3

In( s/k ) = In ( 25/30 ) = -0.1827

t = 30 / 365

To determine the number of shares of stock per 100 put options to hedge the risk we will apply the relation below

Number of shares to hedge risk = | N(d1) - 1 |  * 100 ----- ( 1 )

where :

d1 = \frac{In(\frac{s}{k}) + ( r +\frac{std^2}{2})*t  }{std\sqrt{2} }

N(d1 ) = cumulative distribution function = 0.3394

back to equation 1 = 0.6606 * 100 = 66 shares

attached below is the remaining part of the  solution

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

a 1) FIFO

Closing Inventory = $1,760

Cost of Goods sold = $11,264

2) LIFO

Closing Inventory = $1,056

Cost of Goods sold = $11,968

b) FIFO gives the higher ending inventory than LIFO because the oldest items and lowest costs are allocated to the cost of goods sold.

c) LIFO results in higher cost of Goods sold because latest cost are allocated to the cost of goods sold and latest cost may include price increases.

Explanation:

FIFO

Closing inventory = 176 units * $10= $1760

Cost goods sold = 352 units + 704+528 -176 =1,408 units sold

from opening $2,112

12 June   = $5632

23 June   = ( 528-176) =352 units * 10 =3,520

total sold = $11,264

LIFO

Closing inventory = 176 units * 6 = $1,056

Cost goods sold =  352 units + 704+528 -176 =1,408 units sold

23 June = $5,280

12 June = $5,632

1 June  = (352-176) = 176 *6 = $1,056

Total = $11,968

melisa1 [442]

The correct answer would be option D, India has high import tariffs.

Mark feels that Darren is too optimistic and that this venture may not turn out to be as profitable as Darren expects it to be. Darren's view is based on the assumption that India has high import tariffs.

Explanation:

When companies import or export products in or out of the country, they are usually charged with a duty which they have to pay on the import or export of the products. This is called as the Tariff.

While considering the export of a product to another country, the import tariffs of that other country has a pretty much impact on the profits of that company's Sales. Higher the tariffs, lower the profits and vice versa.

So when Mark wanted to export his product to India, Darren was with the view that India has high import tariffs which will restrict them to have huge profits of exporting their product.
