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

  2. An outbreak of mad cow disease causes Americans to abstain from eating beef.
  3. Extreme weather in New York, where the Super Bowl is scheduled to be played, makes people disinterested in purchasing Super Bowl tickets.

<h3>What would lead to either a upward or downward pressure on price?</h3>

There is an upward pressure on price if demand increases or supply reduces. There is a downward pressure on price if demand decreases or supply increases.

As a result of the slit, there would be an increase in the supply of cotton. This would lead to an downward pressure on price. The mad cow disease would lead people to demand less beef. This would lead to an downward pressure on price. The extreme weather would lead to people not coming for the game. This would lead to an downward pressure on price.

Due to the expectation of the holocaust, there would be an increased demand for twonkies. This would lead to an upward pressure on price.

Here is the complete question:

Decide whether each scenario would lead to upward or downward pressure on the equilibrium price for each good in bold font.

1.The Nile River floods this year add an exceptional amount of silt to the soil, resulting in increased crops of cotton.

2.An outbreak of mad cow disease causes Americans to abstain from eating beef.

3. Extreme weather in New York, where the Super Bowl is scheduled to be played, makes people disinterested in purchasing Super Bowl tickets.

4. An impending unclear holocaust causes people to stock up on twonkies, a popular snack cake provided by many companies

On November 1, 2018, New Morning Bakery signed a $195,000, 6%, six-month note payable with the amount borrowed plus accrued inte
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

total cash pay is $200850

Explanation:

given data

Bakery signed P = $195000

rate R = 6 %

time T = 6 month

to find out

cash amount will be needed to pay back with interest

solution

we find first interest for 6 month that is 6/12 year

so interest = P×R×T

interest = 195000×0.06×6/12

interest = $5850

so total amount pay = Principal  + Interest

total amount pay =195000  + 5850

total cash pay = $200850

As the director of sales for your hotel, you earn a 0.5% commission on total sales from your sales team. Assuming there are 3 sa
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: $2,085

Explanation:

Average monthly sales by the three salesperson are;

$125,000

$144,000

$148,000

Therefore, average total monthly sales by the three salesperson equals;

$125,000+$144,000+$148,000 = $417,000

Average total sales per month = $417,000

Monthly commission percentage = 0.5%

Monthly commission = 0.5% × 417,000

(0.5 ×417000) ÷ 100

208500 ÷ 100 = $2085

Monthly commission = $2,085
