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

3. The difference in absorption and variable costing income is because in absorption costing the fixed costs are treated as unit cost and in variable costs the fixed costs are treated as period costs. Also the fixed costs of the ending units is deducted in absorption costing where it is not deducted in variable costing.

Which of the following would tend to increase a firm's target debt ratio,other things held constant?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

D) The Federal Reserve tightens interest rates in an effort to fight inflation.

Explanation:

When the Federal pursues a contractionary monetary policy to fight inflation, it sells securities in order to raise the interest rate.

A higher interest rate means that both investing and borrowing becomes more expensive. The firm's previous debts become more expensive because they interest rate is now higher. For this reason, other things held constant, the frim has to raise its target debt ratio.

A firm has a debt-equity ratio of .62, a total asset turnover of 1.24, and a profit margin of 5.1 percent. The total equity is $
jekas [21]

The amount of net income is $50,158.93.

Given:

Debt ratio = 62%

Asset turnover = 1.24

Profit margin = 5.1%

Total equity = $489,600

Find the Total Debt:

Debt = debt ratio × total equity

Debt = 0.62 * 489,600

Debt = $303,552

Find the Total Assets:

Total assets = Total debt + Total equity

Total assets = $303,552 + $489,600

Total assets =  $793,152.

Find Total Turnover:

Turnover = Total assets * Total asset turnover ratio

= $793,152. * 1.24

= $983,508.48

Now find the amount of Net Income:

Net Income = Turnover * Profit margin

Net Income = $983,508.48 * 5.1%

= $50,158.93

The amount of net income is $50,158.93.
