Answer:
To create the collar, the customer would: <u>buy 1 PHLX 59 SF Call and sell 1 PHLX 61 SF Call.</u>
Explanation:
The meaning of a "collar" is that a put is bought at a strike price that is less than the price of the underlying instrument (this implies that a floor has been put on the price of the instrument); and that a call is disposed at a strike price which is higher than the price of the underlying instrument (this indicates that a ceiling above which the instrument will be called away has been created).
When a collar is put on the price, it indicates that the customer is majorly giving a guarantee for the underlying instrument's minimum and maximum price.
This should make the net cost of the collar to be close to zero due to the fact that the two contracts are "out the money" and also because the premium paid to buy the put is offset by the premium received when the call was sold.
Therefore, since customer in the question wishes to place a collar on the position using PHLX SF FLEX options, he would <u>buy 1 PHLX 59 SF Call and sell 1 PHLX 61 SF Call</u> to create the collar.

Answer:
It will be more profitable to vertically integrate because the company will be able to further reduce its costs.
Explanation:
Profit = Sales - Cost
The lower the cost, the higher the profit (if sales remains the same).
A Vertical integration strategy requires a company to <u>own or control its suppliers (backward integration) or its distributors or retailers (forward integration)</u>, and therefore, gain more control over its value chain.
<em>If the U.S. automobile company chooses to vertically integrate into the car retailing business in countries where it sells most of its cars, then it would cut out certain costs, such as the cost of contracting with independent car dealers, which would further improve profitability.</em>
Also, such forward integration into retailing means the company will develop processes along its value chain that will increase the efficiency of its operations.
Monthly income = 2000 dollars
Debt to pay = 250 + 100 = 350 dollars
Let's find the ratio of debt to income.
=> 350 / 2000 = 0.175
=> 0.175 * 100 = 17.5 percent.
Thus 17.5% of his salary goes to his debts for credit card and auto loan.
