In July 2012, a small chocolate factory receives a large order for chocolate bars to be delivered in November. The spot price fo

r Cocoa is $2,400 per metric ton. It will need 10 metric tons of Cocoa in September to fill this order. Because of limited storage capacity and volatility in the world cocoa prices, the company decides the best strategy is to buy 10 call options for $53 each with strike price of $2,400 (equal to the current price) with a maturity date of September 2012. When the options expire in September, how much will the company pay (including the cost of the options) for cocoa if the spot price in September proves to be $2,600

Answer:

$24,530, $23,530

Explanation:

Incomplete word <em>"and if the spot price in September proves to be $2,300."</em>

<em />

Note that Call options will be exercised only if the price on expiry is greater than strike price

Strike price = $2400

Premium paid = $53 for each contract, so the total premium paid = $530 for 10 contracts

<u>CASE 1</u>

Price = $2600

As price on expiry=2600 > Strike price=2400

Call option will be exercised.

Company will pay = $2400 * 10+530 = $24,530

<u>CASE 2</u>

Price = $2300

As price on expiry=2300 < Strike price=2400

Call option will not be exercised and will purchase from open market

Company will pay = $2300 * 10+530 = $23,530

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The bid price in a hostile takeover is generally above the price before the tak
just olya [345]

Answer:

a.

Explanation:

Based on all the answers that were provided the statement that is correct is that the bid price in a hostile takeover is generally above the price before the takeover attempt is announced, because otherwise there would be no incentive for the stockholders to sell to the hostile bidder and the takeover attempt would probably fail. Which pretty much explains itself, except for that a hostile takeover is when a person or another business tries to purchase a business by going directly to the shareholders themselves.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Explain the ways in which Fiscal Policy and Monetary Policy interact by using Keynesian IS and LM curves. Discuss the impact of
statuscvo [17]

Answer and Explanation:

If demand is greater than supply, then there is inflation. Hence, the government has to devaluate its currency on net borrowings from abroad. Supply increases and price becomes stable.

The banks have to lower their bank rate and decrease CRR. When prices rise, consumption decreases and investment increases. When the interest rate is made high consumption and investment both become stable. Hence, there is full employment. Government has a fiscal policy to increase taxes and borrowings and increase the export and income rises and price becomes stable.
