Answer:
a. $3.38
b=$153.38
a. Calculation for how much would it cost to purchase if the desired put option were traded
Calculation for Pd=10/100×150=15
Calculation for uS0=10/100×150=15+150=165
Calculation for dS0=150-15=135
Hence
X=150; uS0= 165; Pu= 0; dS0= 135; Pd= 15
Using this formula to find the Hedge ratio
Hedge ratio :Pu- Pd / uSo-dSo
Let plug in the formula
Hedge ratio=0.15/165-135
=-15/30
=-0.5or -1/2
The portfolio comprised of one share and as well as a two puts which provides a guaranteed payoff of $165
Let find the present value:
-0.5S-P= -0.5*165=-82.5
-0.5*150-P=-82.5/1.05= -78.57
P=78.38-75
P=3.38
Therefore how much that it would cost to purchase if the desired put option were traded will be$3.38
b. Calculation for what would be the cost of the protective put portfolio
The Cost of protective put portfolio with a $150 guaranteed payoff will be
$150 + $3.38 = $153.38
Therefore what would be the cost of the protective put portfolio will be $153.38

A project analysis using the net present value method indicates that the present value of cash inflows is $120,000, and the total amount of investment required at the start of the project is $100,000. Which of the following statements best describes the results of the project analysis?
a. The project should be rejected because the actual rate of return expected from the project is less than the minimum desired rate of return.
b. The project should be accepted because the actual rate of return expected from the project is more than the minimum desired rate of return.
c. The project should be rejected because the actual rate of return expected from the project is more than the minimum desired rate of return.
d. The project should be accepted because the actual rate of return expected from the project is less than the minimum desired rate of return.
Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
Cost of investment was $100,000
Present value of all the cash inflows = $120,000
Profit = $20,000 ($120,000 - $100,000)
Since the present value of all the cash inflows is greater than the initial cost of investment, the capital project should be accepted because the firm will be better off and shareholders' wealth will be increased.
The expected rate of return for the project is $20,000/$100,000

Eight months ago, you purchased 400 shares of Winston stock at a price of $46.40 a share. The company pays quarterly difidents of $1.05 a share. Today, you sold all of your shares for $48.30 a share. What is your total percentage return on this investment
Answer:
Percentage return on investment= 8.62 %
Explanation:
Return on investment is the amount that an investor gains after investing in a particular business venture. Percentage return on investment is calculated as gain from a business venture divided by the initial investment.
Percentage return on investment= (Gain ÷ Initial investment) * 100
Gain on share price= 48.30 - 46.40 = $1.90
Gain from dividend= 2 * 1.05= $2.10
Total gain = 1.90 + 2.10 = $4
Therefore
Percentage return on investment= (4 ÷ 46.40) * 100
Percentage return on investment= 8.62 %
So the gain on initial investment of the 400 shares is 8.62%
Answer:
The total percentage return on this investment is 8.62%
Explanation:
Given the initial investment is 400 shares * 46.40 = $18,560 and the purchase of those shares were "eight month ago"
The company pays quarterly dividends of $1/05 per share. So, that in between 8 month, these are 2 Quarters
Thus Dividend amount= 400 * 1.05 * 2 Quarters= $840
Capital gains= Sales value - Purchase price
= 400 * 48.30 - 18,560
= 19,320 - 18,560
= $760
Therefore total percentage return on this investment will be derived by (Dividend + Capital) / Initial Investment * 100
= (840 + 760)/18560 * 100
= 8.62%

Determine the total equivalent units for direct materials, assuming that the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories. Assume that all direct materials are placed in the process at the beginning of production.
Answer:
37,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of the total equivalent units for direct material is shown below:
= Transferred to finished goods during the month of July + Ending work in process during the month of July - Inventory in process, July 1
= 37,500 units + 3,500 units - 4,000 units
= 41,000 units - 4,000 units
= 37,000 units
We simply applied the above formula so that the total equivalent units for direct materials could come

If it wants to increase the production of Alpha, it could pay as much as ($195 - $183) / 8 = $1.50 extra per pound if it wants to maximize profits. Maximum price = $6.50 per pound. At this point, marginal revenue = price.
If the economy booms, RTF, Inc., stock is expected to return 11 percent. If the economy goes into a recessionary period, then RTF is expected to only return 4 percent. The probability of a boom is 72 percent while the probability of a recession is 28 percent. What is the variance of the returns on RTF, Inc., stock
Answer:
0.000988
Explanation:
For calculation of the variance of the returns on RTF, Inc., stock first we need to find out the expected rate of return which is shown below:-
Expected rate of return = (Boom percentage × Expected return) + (Recession percentage × Expected return)
= (0.72 × 0.11) + (0.28 × 0.04)
= 9.04%
The Variance of the returns = Boom percentage × (Expected return - Expected rate of return)^2 + Probability recession × (Expected return - Expected rate of return)^2
= 72% × (0.11 - 0.0904)^2 + 28% × (0.04 - 0.0904)^2
= 0.000988

reonna Corporation leases equipment from Falls Company on January 1, 2020. The lease agreement does not transfer ownership, contain a bargain purchase option, and is not a specialized asset. It covers 3 years of the equipment's 8-year useful life, and the present value of the lease payments is less than 90 % of the fair value of the assets leased. The annual lease payment is $41,000 at the beginning of each year, and Breonna's incremental borrowing rate is 8%, which is the same as the lessor's implicit rate. The agreement is properly classified as an operating lease. Assume the equipment is carried at a cost of $280,000 and the Straight-Line method for depreciation is used. In preparing the necessary journal entries for Falls Company (the lessor) for 2020, the "Leased Equipment" account should include a debit for depreciation expense of ___________. (Enter the answer with NO commas or dollar signs!)
Answer:
$35,000
Explanation:
Since this is an operating lease (short lease term, no transfer of ownership, and low present value of lease payments), the lessor has to record a depreciation expense, but the lessee only considers lease payments as operating costs (no depreciation expense or lease liability should be recognized).
Depreciation expense per year under the straight line method = asset cost / useful life = $280,000 / 8 years = $35,000
During Bruce Company’s first year of operations, the company purchased $4,300 of supplies. At year-end, a physical count of the supplies on hand revealed that $1,825 of unused supplies were available for future use. How will the related adjusting entry affect the company’s financial statements?
Answer:
Supplies Used = $2475
Explanation:
Bruce Company
Supplies Purchases $4,300
Supplies on hand $1,825
Supplies Used = $ 4300- $ 1825 = $2475
The amount of Supplies used ( $ 4300- $ 1825 = $2475) will be shown in the income statement as an expense and the amount of unused supplies or Supplies on hand $1,825 will be shown in the Balance sheet as an asset account. The both of which will total the supplies actually purchased.
The relating adjusting entry will be
Supplies Expense $ 2475 Debit
Supplies Account $ 2475 Credit
This means the supplies of the amount $ 2475 have been used and is recorded as an expense in the income statement. It will be deducted from the gross profit. The remaining amount $ 1825 is for future use so recorded as an asset in the Balance Sheet and added to the total assets.
A portfolio consists of $13,600 in Stock M and $19,400 invested in Stock N. The expected return on these stocks is 8.10 percent and 11.70 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on the portfolio
Answer:
Portfolio return is 10.22%
Explanation:
The expected return of a portfolio is the function of the weighted average of the individual stock returns that form up the portfolio. The formula to calculate the expected return of the portfolio is as follows,
Portfolio Return = wA * rA + wB * rB + ... + wN * rN
Where,
w is the weightage of each asset/stock in the portfolior is the return of each stockThe weightage of each stock can be calculated by dividing the investment in the stock by the total investment in the portfolio.
Total investment - portfolio = 13600 + 19400 = $33000
Portfolio Return = 13600/33000 * 0.0810 + 19400/33000 * 0.1170
Portfolio Return = 0.10216 or 10.216% rounded off to 10.22%
Rihanna Company is considering purchasing new equipment for $578,500. It is expected that the equipment will produce net annual cash flows of $65,000 over its 10-year useful life. Annual depreciation will be $57,850. Compute the cash payback period.
Answer:
The answer is 8.9 years
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
purchase of new equipment = $578,500
Net annual cash flows =$65,000
The useful life = 10 years
Annual depreciation = $57.850
Now, we have to compute the cash payback period which given below:
The payback period (cash) = cost of capital investment/net annual cash flows
=$578.500/$65,000
=8.9 years
The cash payback period is 8.9 years
Becton Labs, Inc., produces various chemical compounds for industrial use. One compound, called Fludex, is prepared using an elaborate distilling process. The company has developed standard costs for one unit of Fludex, as follows:
Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost

Direct labor 0.80 hours $15.00 per hour 12.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 0.80 hours $3.50 per hour 2.80
Total standard cost per unit $46.30
During November, the following activity was recorded, relative to production of Fludex:
a. Materials purchased, 9,420 ounces at a cost of $49,926.
b. There was no beginning inventory of materials; however, at the end of the month, 1,600 ounces of material remained in ending inventory.
c. The company employs 40 lab technicians to work on the production of Fludex. During November, they worked an average of 61.50 hours at an average rate of $12.30 per hour.
d. Variable manufacturing overhead is assigned to Fludex on the basis of direct labor-hours. Variable manufacturing overhead costs during November totaled $5,658.
e. During November, 4,600 good units of Fludex were produced.
The company's management is anxious to determine the efficiency of the Fludex production activities.
Required:
1. For direct materials used in the production of Fludex, compute the price and usage variances.
2. For direct labor employed in the production of Fludex, compute the price and usage variances.
Answer:
1)
direct materials price variance = actual quantity x (actual price - standard price)
direct materials price variance = 7,820 x ($5.30 - $15) = 7,820 x (-$9.70) = -$75,854 favorable
direct materials usage variance = standard price x (actual usage - standard usage)
direct materials usage variance = $15 x (7,820 - 9,660) = -$27,600 favorable
2)
direct labor price variance = actual hours x (actual rate - standard rate)
direct labor price variance = 2,460 x ($12.30 - $15) = 2,460 x (-$2.70) = -$6,642 favorable
direct labor usage (efficiency) variance = standard rate x (actual hours - standard hours)
direct labor usage (efficiency) variance = $15 x (2,460 - 3,680) = $15 x (-1,220) = -$18,300 favorable

Giving the following information:
April $121,800 282,100
May 82,500 163,400
June 99,900 235,900
To calculate the variable and fixed costs under the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (121,800 - 82,500) / (282,100 - 163,400)
Variable cost per unit= $0.33
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 121,800 - (0.33*282,100)

At a later date the company purchased an additional 1,200 units of inventory that cost $10.00 each. Vargas sold 900 units of inventory for $13.00. If Vargas uses a FIFO cost flow method, the amount of cost of goods sold appearing on the income statement will be:
Answer:
$8200
Explanation:
FIFO means first in first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
The cost of the 900 units sold, would be:
800 x 9 = $7200
100 × $10 = $1000
Total = $8200

In 2007, Joe Gebbia and Brian Chesky realized they could not afford the rent on their pricey San Francisco apartment, so they decided to put an air mattress in their living room and offer people an alternative to an expensive hotel room. This is the story of how Airbnb got started. In other words, Airbnb began when Gebbia and Chesky ________; the company grew because it ________.
Answer: c. Identified a problem or frustration; identified an opportunity or need
Explanation:
Airbnb began when the founders Joe Gebbia and Brian Chesky realized that they could not afford the rent on their San Francisco apartment. This was a problem for them and they needed to solve it. Another problem they realized was that people were having to pay for expensive hotel rooms. The common denominator here being that both places were pricey.
They then identified the opportunity or need that people needed to afford their rent and visitors needed to afford places to stay temporarily and then acted on this opportunity by putting an air mattress in their living room and offering people an alternative to an expensive hotel room.
A company rents a small building with 10,000 square feet of space for $100,000 per year. The rent is allocated to the company's three departments on the basis of the value of the space occupied by each. Department 1 occupies 1,500 square feet of ground-floor space, Department 2 occupies 3,500 square feet of ground-floor space, and Department 3 occupies 5,000 square feet of second-floor space. If rent for comparable floor space in the neighborhood averages $15.00 per sq. ft. for ground-floor space and $10 per sq. ft. for second-floor space, what annual rent expense should be charged to each department
Answer:
department 1: $18,000
department 2: $42,000
department 3: $40,000
Explanation:
total annual rent expense $100,000
total rented space 10,000 sq ft
first we must calculate the rental cost based on comparable floor space:
(1,500 x $15) + (3,500 x $15) + (5,000 x $10) = $22,500 + $52,500 + $50,000 = $125,000
now we allocate costs on the following proportion: $100,000 / $125,000 = 0.8
department comparable rent proportional cost total
1 $22,500 0.8 $18,000
2 $52,500 0.8 $42,000
3 $50,000 0.8 $40,000
total $125,000 $100,000
Pizza is a normal good if the demand:__________
a. for pizza rises when income rises.
b. for pizza rises when the price of pizza falls.
c. curve for pizza slopes upward.
d. curve for pizza shifts to the right when the price of burritos rises, assuming pizza and burritos are substitutes.
Answer:
a. for pizza rises when income rises.
Explanation:
A normal good is a good that people purchase more when their income increases and that have a lower demand when their income decreases, for example, clothing. According to this, the answer is that Pizza is a normal good if the demand for pizza rises when income rises.
The other options are not right because a normal good is determined by the way in which the demand of a product behaves when the income increases or decreases.
Suppose a consumer has the following utility function defined over the 2 goods X and Y: a. If this consumer originally consumed 10 units of X and 24 units of Y, and if the consumption of X were increased to 12 units, how much Y would be would the consumer be willing to give up and maintain the initial level of satisfaction
Answer:
Y = 22 units (Approx)
Explanation:
Note:
The utility function is not given, the utility function is as follows.
U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
So,
U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
When X = 10 and Y = 24 units
U(10 ,24) = 2(10) + [tex]16(24)^{1/2}[/tex]
U(10 ,24) = 98.4
U(10 ,24) = 99 Units (Approx)
So,
U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
When X = 12 Find Y
99 units = 2(12) + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
75 = [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
Y = 21.97
Y = 22 units (Approx)
Beginning and ending work in process inventories are negligible, so they are omitted from the cost of production report. The flavor changeover cost represents the cost of cleaning the bottling machines between production runs of different flavors. Determine the cost per case for each of the four flavors. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Answer and Explanation:
The cost per case for each of the four flavors are shown below:
Particulars Orange Cola Lemon Lime Root Beer
Total Cost Transferred
to finished goods (a) $19,125 $391,800 $324,000 $36,000
No. of Cases (b) 2,500 60,000 50,000 4,000
Cost Per Case
(a ÷ b) $7.65 $6.53 $6.48 $9
By dividing the total cost from the number of cases we can get the cost per case for each of the four flavors
A well-known industrial firm has issued $1,000 bonds that carry a 4% coupon interest rate paid semiannually. The bonds mature 20 years from now, at which time the industrial firm will redeem them from $1,000 plus the terminal semiannual interest payment. From the financial pages of your newspaper you learn that the bonds may be purchased for $715 each ($710 for the bond plus a $5 sales commission). What nominal annual rate of return would you receive if you purchased the bond now and held it to maturity 20 years from now
Answer:
5.59%
Explanation:
$1,000 bonds carrying a 4% coupon rate, semiannual coupon $20, matures in 20 years
if you purchase the bonds at $715, the nominal annual rate of return = coupon payments / bond price = ($20 + $20) / $715 = $40 / $715 = 5.59%
The nominal annual rate of return is calculated by dividing the revenue generated by an investment by the cost of the investment.
Gould Corporation uses the following activity rates from its activity-based costing to assign overhead costs to products: Activity Cost Pool Activity Rate Setting up batches $ 59.71 per batch Processing customer orders $ 73.05 per customer order Assembling products $ 4.40 per assembly hour Data concerning two products appear below: Product K91B Product F65O Number of batches 92 63 Number of customer orders 42 56 Number of assembly hours 496 903 How much overhead cost would be assigned to Product K91B using the activity-based costing system
Answer:
Product K91B= $10,743.82
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Activity Cost Pool Activity Rate
Setting up batches $ 59.71 per batch
Processing customer orders $ 73.05 per customer order
Assembling products $ 4.40 per assembly hour
Product K91B
Number of batches 92
Number of customer orders 42
Number of assembly hours 496
We were given the allocation rates, all we need to do is allocate based on actual allocation base:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Product K91B= 59.71*92 + 73.05*42 + 4.4*496
Product K91B= $10,743.82
