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

Triss [41]

The correct answer is D; under no circumstances.

Further Explanation:

In the United States, it is against the law for an employer to hire an illegal immigrant. If the employer hires an illegal immigrant knowingly they are breaking the law. Even if the employer does not know they are illegal they are still breaking the law because they need to verify their social security number and work visa with the Immigration office. Every employer has this special system that they use to verify if a person is a legal and documented immigrant.

Undocumented immigrants can apply for a work visa through the Immigration and Naturalization office. They will have to go through a lengthy process and will need to return to their home country while awaiting a decision.

Deal Leasing leased equipment to Hand Company on January 1, 2021. The leased equipment's book value is $420,000 with no estimate
anygoal [31]

Answer:

The requirements are missing, so I looked for a similar question. This is a financial lease since the PV of the lease payments represents 97% of the asset's value.

January 1, 2021, equipment leased from Deal leasing

Dr Right of use asset 405,541.20

    Cr Lease liability 405,541.20

the right of use asset = PV of lease payments = $60,000 x 6.75902 (PV annuity due, 10%, 10 periods) = $405,541.20

January 1, 2021, first lease payment

Dr Lease liability 60,000

    Cr Cash 60,000

December 31, 2021, depreciation expense on leased asset

Dr Depreciation expense 40,554.12

    Cr Accumulated depreciation 40,554.12

depreciation expense = $405,541.20 / 10 = $40,554.12

December 31, 2021, interest expense on asset lease

Dr Interest expense 34,554.12

    Cr Interest payable 34,554.12

interest expense = ($405,541.20 - $60,000) x 10% = $34,554.12

a customer has invested 20000 in a variable annuity. in the first year nav increases to 21100 at what rate wsill 1100 gain be ta
rjkz [21]

Answer: 0%

Explanation:

The $20,000 contribution to the variable annuity is not taxed and neither is the gain, at least not yet.

With the variable annuity, the gains/earnings will be tax-deferred and the customer will only have to pay taxes when they withdraw the contributions.

When this happens they will be charged at the normal income tax rate.
