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

Your supervisor has come to you with the following list of expenditures for the year and is asking you whether they should be ca
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

1. Repainted the office building: This should be capitalized.

2. Added a new wing onto the office building: This should be capitalized.

3. Took their fleet of cars in for servicing (changing the oil, etc.).: This should be expensed.

5. Had an engine rebuilt in one of their fleet cars: This should be capitalized.

4. Added newer electronic locks on the doors in the production building: This should be expensed.

Explanation:

1. Repainted the office building: This should be capitalized. This is because repainting is a repair that will restore the physical structure of the office building and significantly improve it. Since it is a capital improvement cost, it should be capitalized and depreciated like other fixed assets.

2. Added a new wing onto the office building: This should be capitalized and depreciated like other fixed assets since it is a capital expenditure that significantly added to the structure of the office building.

3. Took their fleet of cars in for servicing (changing the oil, etc.).: This falls under repair and should be expensed.

4. Added newer electronic locks on the doors in the production building: This should be expensed. Cost of locks and keys are ordinary expenses that do not improve the physical structure of the production building.  

5. Had an engine rebuilt in one of their fleet cars: This should be capitalized. It is a tangible improvement to the fleets of cars and this kind of costs fall under capital expenditures.
