Answer:
If IBM stock price rises from $105 to $112, the profit associated with the passive strategy is $ 35,000 and the profit associated with the covered call writing strategy is $ 45,000
.
Explanation:
Shares = 5000
Price of shares = $105
Sell Price = $112
The profit associated with the passive strategy = $(112 - 105) × 5000
= $ 35,000
Now with covered call also included in the strategy the profit/loss from covered call can be calculated as
Strike Price = $110
Spot Price = $112
Total Shares on which Call options are sold = 50 × 100 = $5000
Total Premium received = 5000 × 4 = $20000
(Spot Price - Strike Price ) × Total Shares
= $(112 - 110) × 5000
= $10,000
Hence Net Profit = Premium received - $10,000 = $20,000 - $10,000
= $ 10000
Hence the profit associated with the covered call writing strategy
= $35,000 + $10,000
= $ 45,000
Answer:
$72,200
Explanation:
For computing the amount included in the income statement as an investment we need to applied the equity method which is shown below:
= Earned amount × given percentage
= $361,000 × 20%

Answer:
$0.008891/Yen
Explanation:
The computation of arbitrage free rate is shown below:-
Fair forward rate = Spot rate × (1 + Interest rate US) ÷ (1 + Interest Rate Japan)
= 0.008828 × (1 + 5.25%) ÷ (1 + 4.5%)
= $0.00889135885/Yen
or
= $0.008891/Yen
Therefore for computing the arbitrage free rate we simply applied the above formula.
