An investor believes that there will be a big jump in a stock price, but is uncertain as to the direction. Identify six differen

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Consider the following explanation.

Explanation:

The six different strategies (spreads or combinations) the investor can follow:

1)short Butterfly spread: it’s a spread with selling one call option with the lowest strike price(XL),purchasing two call options with the medium strike price(XM) and selling one call option with the highest strike price (XH) , XL<XM<XH. The strike price (XM) is generally chosen such that its equal to the stock price and options are of same maturity. The strategy shall generate the net income from the selling of calls when the stock price deviated from the strike price XM due to the high volatility. A high jump either way guarantees a net income.

2) The Straddle combination with long one put and long 1 call with the same strike price X and maturity. Its payoff depends on the deviation of the strike price if the big jump either way is expected then either the put or the call expires in the money so that the moneyness(payoffs) covers all the premiums paid for the call and put and there are profits. The high jump either way guarantees a big payoff from either the put or the call.

3)In the Strangle combination there is one long call with strike price (Xc) and one long put with strike price Xp,this combination is cheaper to generate due to purchase of OTM(out of the money) options. If the big jump either way is expected then either the put or the call expires in the money so that the moneyness (payoffs) covers all the premiums paid for the call and put and there are profits. The high jump either way guarantees a big payoff from either the put or the call. It’s easier to cover all the lesser premiums paid for the call and put and generate profits with a big move.

4) The Strip combination consists of 1 call+2 put with same exercise price and maturity. If the big jump either way is expected then either the two put or the call expires in the money so that the moneyness covers all the premiums paid for the call and put and there are profits. The payoff generated by the 2 puts is much more when the stock moves downwards as compared to when the stock moves upwards. Investor is sure of the uncertain directional big jump but thinks that the probability of downward move is greater than the upward move.

5) The Strap combination consists of 2 calls+1 put with same exercise price and maturity. If the big jump either way is expected then either the 1 put or the 2 calls expires in the money so that the moneyness covers all the premiums paid for the call and put and there are profits. The payoff generated by the 2 calls is much more when the stock moves upwards as compared to when the stock moves downwards. Investor is sure of the uncertain directional big jump but thinks that the probability of upward move is greater than the downward move.

6) Short Calendar spread: short shorter term call and at the same time short longer term call therefore the income is generated by the big move from the premiums of the calls and differences in the maturity.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Equivalents Units Of Production Materials= 475,000

Conversion Costs 450,000

Cost of Completed Units =$ 5138250

Cost of Units in the Ending Inventory $ 604,500

Explanation:

Direct materials costs of $ 935,750

Conversion costs of $ 4,554,000

Total Manufacturing Costs $ 5489,750

Units % of Completion EUP

D.M C.C D.M C.C

Units completed 425,000 100 100 425,000 425,000

Ending Inventory 50,000 100 50 50,000 25000

Total Units Of Production 475,000 450,000

Direct Materials= $ 935,750/ 475000= $ 1.97

Conversion Costs = $ 4,554,000/ 450,000= $ 10.12

Cost of Completed Units =$ 5138250

Direct Materials = 425,000 * 1.97= $ 837250

Conversion Costs = 425,000 *10.12= $ 4301,000

Total Cost of Manufacturing Units= $ 5138250

Cost of Units in the Ending Inventory $ 604,500

Direct Materials = 50,000 * 1.97= $ 98,500

Conversion Costs = 50,000 * 10.12= 506000

Total Costs $ 604,500
