Answer: B) The option premium is greater or equal to its intrinsic value because of the time premium.
Explanation:
The option premium can be calculated by adding the time premium and the intrinsic value. The time premium is the part of the option premium that accounts for the time remaining till the premium matures while the intrinsic value is the difference between the value of underlying asset and the strike price.
As the time premium can be zero but never negative, the option premium can either be greater than its intrinsic value or equal to it. It cannot be lower than it because of the time premium.

Suppose that a worker in Boatland can produce either 5 units of wheat or 25 units of fish per year, and a worker in Farmland can produce either 25 units of wheat or 5 units of fish per year. There are 30 workers in each country. No trade occurs between the two countries. Boatland produces and consumes 75 units of wheat and 375 units of fish per year while Farmland produces and consumes 375 units of wheat and 75 units of fish per year. If trade were to occur, Boatland would trade 90 units of fish to Farmland in exchange for 80 units of wheat. If Boatland now completely specializes in fish production, how many units of fish could it now consume along with the 80 units of imported wheat?
Answer:
660 units of fish
Explanation:
Boatland's production = 150 units of wheat or 750 units of fish
opportunity cost of producing fish = 150/750 = 0.2 units of wheat
opportunity cost of producing wheat = 750/150 = 5 units of fish
Farmland's production = 750 units of wheat or 150 units of fish
opportunity cost of producing fish = 750/150 = 5 units of wheat
opportunity cost of producing wheat = 150/750 = 0.2 units of fish
If Boatland trades 90 units of fish in exchange for 80 units of wheat, its remaining production will be = 750 (maximum possible production of fish) - 90 (units traded) = 660 units of fish
Fallow Corporation has two separate profit centers. The following information is available for the most recent year: West Division East Division Sales (net) $ 410,000 $ 560,000 Salary expense 47,000 61,000 Cost of goods sold 143,000 259,000 The West Division occupies 10,250 square feet in the plant. The East Division occupies 6,150 square feet. Rent, which was $ 82,000 for the year, is an indirect expense and is allocated based on square footage. Compute operating income for the West Division.
Answer:
$168,750
Explanation:
The data below are extracted from the above question.
West division
Sales (S) = $410,000
Salary expense (E) = $47,000
Cost of goods sold (C) = $143,000
Proportional rent (R) = $82,000 % of square footage
Area of the division = 10,250 square feet.
Total area of both division = 10,250 + 6,150
= 16,400 square feet
Therefore, the operating income (I) for the West Division is given by the amount of sales minus salary expenses , cost of goods sold and rent.
I = S - E - C - R
= $410,000 - $47,000 - $143,000 - (82,000 × 10,250 / 16,400)
= $220,000 - $51,250
= $168,750
The yearly operating income for Fallow's Corporation West Division is $168,750.
Question 7 of 10 How much should you save each year for maintenance on your home? $500 Whatever your home inspector recommends 7% of your gross income At least 1% of the purchase price
Answer: At least 1% of the purchase price
Explanation:
The 1% rule is a popular practice that estimates that 1% of a house´s purchase price should be expected to be required for maintenance every year. This is the case for a house that is less than five years old. Houses between 5 and 25 years old could range between a 1 and 4% annual maintenance budget, depending also on its location, the market, its size, and the impact of the weather.
Airborne Airlines Inc. has a $1,000 par value bond outstanding with 10 years to maturity. The bond carries an annual interest payment of $90 and is currently selling for $960. Airborne is in a 20 percent tax bracket. The firm wishes to know what the aftertax cost of a new bond issue is likely to be. The yield to maturity on the new issue will be the same as the yield to maturity on the old issue because the risk and maturity date will be similar.
Required:
a. Compute the yield to maturity on the old issue and use this as the yield for the new issue.
b. Make the appropriate tax adjustment to determine the aftertax cost of debt.
Answer:Yield to maturity is 9.59%; After tax cost of debt =7.672%
Explanation:
A) Yield to maturity ={ C + (FV-PV)/t} / {(FV +PV)/2}
Where C – Interest payment = $90
FV – Face value of the security
= $1000
PV – Present value/curent market value = $960
t – years it takes the security to reach maturity= 10 years
imputing the values and calculating,
yield to maturity ={ C + (FV-PV)/t} / {(FV +PV)/2}
= $90 + (1000-960)/10} / 1000 + 960 /2
$90 + 4= $94 /980= 0.0959
therefore Yield to maturity is 9.59%
B) After tax cost of debt = Yield To Maturity x (1 - tax rate)
=9.59% x (1-20%)= 9.59% x (1-0.2 )= 9.59% x 0.8 =
9.59 % x 80%=7.672%
What is the value of a zero-coupon bond with a par value of $1,000 and a yield to maturity of 6.60%? The bond has 19 years to maturity.
Answer:
$296.90
Explanation:
For computing the value of the zero coupon bond we need to apply the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 6.60%
NPER = 19 years
PMT = $0
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the value of zero coupon bond is would be $296.90
An economy begins in long-run equilibrium, and then a change in government regulations makes holding money less attractive. a. (1.5 points) How does this change affect the demand for money
Answer: Demand Curve shifts left
Explanation:
Money is now less attractive to hold so people will demand less of it. This will cause the demand curve in the monetary market therefore to shift to the left.
Shifts in the demand curve for money are usually caused when a non-interest determinant of demand changes such as a decrease in income.
How soon following the occurrence of a covered loss must an insured submit written proof of such loss to the insurance company?
Answer:
The answer is: Within 90 days; about 3 months.
Given the following information. Which of the statements below can you support with this information?
Maximum capacity (labor hours): 480 hours per week
Effective capacity ratio: 85 %
Actual time worked: 380 hours per week over the last two weeks
On-time delivery %: 75 percent of the jobs are being completed on time
a. More capacity needs to be added in the short term to improve performance in the system.
b. We need to look at variability in the rate at which jobs enter the shop.
c. Our workforce is not working hard enough.
d. Our workforce may be waiting on delayed arrivals of inputs needed to do the work.
Describe the reasons why you selected the specific option(s) that you did.
Answer:
d. Our workforce may be waiting on delayed arrivals of inputs needed to do the work.
Explanation:
There are two possible sources for 25% of the jobs not being delivered on time:
we have a problem with inputs required (materials or labor)we have a problem with the capacity of our facilityIf we followed Juran's Law, we can simply assume that the problem here has to do with our productive system (like 85% of production errors). Two clear problems are obvious:
only 380 hours worked out of total of 480 hours per week ⇒ why didn't anyone work during the remaining 100 hours? Is there a delay with the inputs or we don't have enough workers?only 85% of the facility's capacity is being used ⇒ why only 85% of the effective capacity ratio? If we are finishing jobs late, why do we have 15% of unused capacity?Obviously we cannot answer these questions just be reading two paragraphs, but that is what should be answered in order to solve the issues.
If a firm favors a push strategy, using direct selling to educate potential consumers about the features of its products, what kind of products would it most likely sell
Answer:
industrial products
Explanation:
A company that does this and mostly favors a push strategy is usually selling industrial products. That is because a push strategy focuses on taking the product to the potential customer and showing them how it works as well as how it can benefit them, therefore pushing the product on them. Industrial Products are great for such a strategy since they require actual demonstration and can easily show the potential customer the actual value that the product can provide.
The terms of trade must be higher (graphically to the right) of a nation's own production __________________
Answer: cost ratio
Explanation: The terms of trade must be higher (graphically to the right) of a nation's own production cost ratio. The production cost ratio allows small-scale manufacturers to determine their cost more accurately as well as control known cost parameters and is a method that can be adapted and applied to any business.
In a multi-product manufacturing firm, the production cost ratio is necessary for accurate compilation and allocation of production costs to each category of product especially when both the Production Time and the Production Runs are not the same and/or when fixed labor, overhead and other costs are drawn from the same pool. When the ratio is not applied results in a skewed allocation of production costs. This in turn can affect the business as it becomes difficult to ascertain the products whose production are more profitable to the business.
Emily Corporation purchased all of Ace Company's common stock on January 1, 2020, for $1,000,000 cash. The investee's stockholders' equity amounted to $400,000. The excess of $600,000 was due to an unrecorded patent with a six-year life. In 2020, Ace reported net income of $250,000 and paid dividends of $25,000.
For 2020, what amount of Equity Income will Emily record? How to get the answer of 1,125,000
Answer:
$ 1,125,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount of Equity Income that Emily will record
First step is to find the Net equity income using this formula
Net equity income= Net income +Dividends
Let plug in the formula
Net equity income=$250,000+$25,000
Net equity income=$225,000
Second step is to find the balance of investment using this formula
Balance of investment= (Common stock + Net equity income )- Amortization of unrecorded patent
Let plug in the formula
Balance of investment =($1,000,000+$225,000 )-($600,000/6)
Balance of investment=$1,225,000-$100,000
Balance of investment = $ 1,125,000
Therefore the amount of Equity Income that Emily will record will be $ 1,125,000

Cozy, Inc., manufactures small and large blankets. It estimates $530,850 in overhead during the manufacturing of 64,247 small blankets and 98,875 large blankets. What is the predetermined overhead rate per machine hour if a small blanket takes 2 machine hour and a large blanket takes 3 machine hours
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.25 per machine hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated manufacturing overhead= $530,850
Total estimated machine hours= 64,247*2 + 98,875*3= 425,119
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 530,850 / 425,119
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.25 per machine hour

Dermody Snow Removal's cost formula for its vehicle operating cost is $2,960 per month plus $326 per snow-day. For the month of December, the company planned for activity of 20 snow-days, but the actual level of activity was 18 snow-days. The actual vehicle operating cost for the month was $9,770. The spending variance for vehicle operating cost in December would be closest to: rev: ________
a. $290 U
b. $290 F
c. $942 U
Answer:
c. $942 U
Explanation:
Spending variance = Standard cost at 20 snow days - Actual operating cost.
Spending variance = [$2,960 + ($326*18)] - $9,770
Spending variance = $8,828 - $9,770
Spending variance = $942 (Unfavorable).
Note: The actual level of activity = 18 snow-days.

a. The theoretical minimum number of workstations is:___________
b. The assignment of tasks to workstations should be:________
Were you able to assign all the activities to workstations equivalent to the theoretical minimum workstation ?
c. The efficiency of the assembly line is:________
Answer:
Please see explanation below.
Explanation:
a. Cycle time = Production time available per hour / Units required per hour
= 60 / 5
= 12minutes
Minimum number of workstations = Sum of the task time / Cycle time
Sum of task time
= 8 + 10 + 8 + 10 + 8 + 4
= 48
The theoretical minimum number of work stations is
= 48 / 12
= 4
b. In order to assign the tasks to the work station, events that precede the task must be considered together with the time taken to complete each task.
°Task A This task is assigned to work station 1 and no task would further be assigned to work station 1, otherwise it will exceed the cycle time.
°Task B. This next task will be assigned to work station 2, no additional task will be assigned to station 2.
Task C is assigned to workstation 3, hence can no longer accept any other assigned task.
°Task D is the next task and will be assigned to work station 4, and we cannot assign any more task to work station 4.
°Task E and F will not be assigned as there are no more available stations.
Task Time Workstation
A. 8 1
B. 10 2
C. 8 3
D. 10 4
E. 8 -
F. 4 -
Please note that due to the theoretical minimum number of work station, which is 4, it will not be possible to assign task to all the workstations hence task E and F remains unassigned.
C. Efficiency of the assembly line
Efficiency ;
= Sum of task times / Actual number of work stations × cycle time
Although the actual number of required workstation is 5 but we cannot assign task E and F due to the theoretical minimum number of workstation. Therefore, additional work station will be required and there are 5 work stations in total.
= 48 ÷ (5 × 12) × 100
= 80%
The theoretical minimum should be = 4
The efficiency of the assembly line should be 80 percent
The production time = 60
The units that are required per hour = 5
[tex]cycle time = \frac{minutes in one hour}{units needed in a day} \\\\cycle time=\frac{60}{5}[/tex]

2. Suppose that you have 2 buyers and one item for sale. The first buyer values your product at $10, and the second buyer values your product at $6. You estimate that the probability of getting the high value customer is 40%. Your marginal costs are $3. You have only one chance to sell your item to these buyers. What is your optimal price and expected profit
Answer:
Price at $6, Profit = $3
Explanation:
When price is $ 10:
Profit = $10 - $3 = $7
But there is 40% chance of high valued customer
So, profit = $7 X 0.40 = $2.8
When price is $6
Profit = $6 - $3 = $3
Consider a basket of consumer goods that costs $90 in the United States. The same basket of goods costs CNY 105 in China.
Holding constant the cost of the basket in each country, compute the real exchange rates that would result from the two nominal exchange rates in the following table.
Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) Nominal Exchange Rate (Yuan per dollar) Real Exchange Rate (Baskets of Chinese goods per basket of U.S goods)
90 105 7.00
90 105 10.50
Answer:
The real exchange rates that would result from the two nominal exchange rates are:
For the first row in the table RER is 6.
For the second row in the table RER is 9.
Note: See the attached excel file for the table.
Explanation:
Note: The table in the question is merged together. It is therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached excel file for the sorted table.
The answer to the explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:
The real exchange rate (RER) between the the currencies of two counties can be described as the multiplication of the nominal exchange and the ratio of baskets of goods between these two countries.
RER can can therefore be calculated using the following formula:
RER = (e * P*) / P ................................. (1)
Where, from the question;
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan)
For the first row in the table:
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 7
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) = $90
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
RER = (7 * 90) / 105
RER = 630 / 105
RER = 6
For the second row in the table:
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 10.50
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) = $90
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
RER = (10.50 * 90) / 105
RER = 945 / 105
RER = 9
The real exchange rates that should lead from the two nominal exchange rates should be 6 and 9.
Calculation of the real exchange rate:RER = (e * P*) / P ................................. (1)
Here,
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan)
So,
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 7
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) = $90
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105
Now
RER = (7 * 90) / 105
RER = 630 / 105
RER = 6
Now
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 10.50
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) = $90
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105
So,
RER = (10.50 * 90) / 105
RER = 945 / 105
RER = 9

Note: The question is not complete as the important data are committed. The full question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Slow n' steady Inc, has a stock price of $30, will pay a dividend next year of $3, and has expected dividend growth of 1% per year. what is your estimate of slow n steady's cost of equity capital?
The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:
The cost of equity can be calculated using the Gordon growth model (GGM) formula for calculating current stock price
The GGM has the assumption that there will be a stable dividend growth rate year after year forever.
Tje GGM formula is given as follows:
P = d1 / (r - g) ……………………………………… (1)
Where;
P = Current share price = $30
d1 = Next year dividend = $3
r = Required rate of return or cost of equity = ?
g = Expected dividend growth rate = 1%, or 0.01
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for r, we have:
30 = 3 / (r - 0.01)
r - 0.01 = 3 / 30
r - 0.01 = 0.10
r = 0.10 + 0.01
r = 0.11, or 11%
Therefore, Slow 'and Steady cost of equity capital is 11%.
