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.

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Tax Liability = $59,170

Explanation:

Profit on building = 234,000-(204,000-56,000)

Profit on building = $86,000

Loss on equipment = 84,000 - (152,000-27,000)

Loss on equipment = $41,000

Net profit = Profit on building - Loss on equipment

Net profit = $86,000 - $41,000

Net profit = $45,000

Taxable income before transaction = $194,500

Total taxable income = $194,500 + $45,000

Total taxable income = $239,500

According to tax rules

Tax Liability = ($194,500 - $85,650)28% + 17,442 + ($45,000 )(25%)

Tax Liability = $47,920 + $11,250

Tax Liability = $59,170

Calculate Producer Surplus if Reservation Price=20, Price=8, & Quantity=10.

Pavel [41]

C. 60
Explanation:
Producer's Surplus means the value producer derives from selling goods. For example, if producer is willing to sell the product for a price 8 but consumers are willing to pay a higher price, let's say 20, then producer achieves a surplus of 12 per unit. Let's calculate the producer's surplus -
As per question, Reservation Price (RP) =20, Price (P) =8, & Quantity (Q) =10
The formula for Producer Surplus (PS) is as follow:
PS = 1/2 (RP - P) x Q
= 1/2 (20-8) x 10 = 60

So if toss a coin there are 50% chances that head will appear and I will loose money and 50 percent chances that tail will appear and I win money. So undesired outcome here is head appearing because I will loose money and it has 50% chances. So risk result in undesired outcome in an uncertain environment.
