Answer:

Using the Put-Call parity principle where the following relationship holds:

Covered Call = Protective Put

Using the above, find the call price:

Call + Strike price / (1 + risk free rate) = Stock price + Put

Call + 18 / (1.08) = 20 + 3.33

Call + 16.67 = 20 + 3.33

Call = 23.33 - 16.67

Call = $6.66

<em></em>

<em>The call option is overvalued at $7 so sell the Call option and buy the Put option and the Stock and borrow $16.67 which is the present value of the Put. </em>

<em>The net gain will be:</em>

<em>= 7 - 6.66</em>

<em>= $0.34</em>

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

Here, when the price of guppy gummies increases by 5%, the quantity of raskels sold decreases by 4% and the quantity of cannes sold increases by 5%.

i.e, % change in price of guppy grummies = 5%

% change in quantity of raskels = -4%

% change in quantity of cannes = 5%

i) Find the Cross price elasticity of demand between guppy grummies and raskels. Use the expression below.

% change in quantity demanded of raskels / % change in price of guppy gummies

= -4% / 5%

= -0.8

Substitute goods have a negative cross price elasticity of demand. Since, the cross price elasticity of demamd here is negative, the goods are substitute.

It is recommended not to advertise raskels with guppy grummies

ii) Find the Cross price elasticity of demand between guppy grummies and cannes. Use the expression below.

% change in quantity demanded of cannes / % change in price of guppy gummies

= 5% / 5%

= 1

Complement goods have a positive cross price elasticity of demand. Since, the cross price elasticity of demamd here is positive, the goods complement each other.

It is recommended to advertise cannes with guppy grummies.

arlik [135]

Answer:

1) AGI = $112,400

2) Taxable Income = $80,600

Explanation:

Ed's Salary = $35,000

Jane's Salary = $70,000

Municipal bond interest income = $400

Qualified business income = $1,000

Alimony paid (for AGI deduction) = $7,000

Real property tax (from AGI deduction) = $10,000  

Charitable contributions (from AGI) = $15,000

The total gross income for Jane and Ed = $70,000 + $35,000 = $105,000

1) Their AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) = $105,000  + $400 + $7,000 = $112,400

2)Their taxable income = $112,400 - $24400 - $7000 - $400 = $80,600
