Answer:

C. Sell a straddle

Explanation:

Considering the following calculation: Sell a straddle = sell a put + sell a call

and,

Premium income for selling a straddle = (P + C )100 = ($3 + $4)(100) = $700.

a short straddle involves simultaneously selling a put option and call option with the same underlying asset, same exercise price and expiration date

By Selling a 3 month put option with exercise price of $40 one will get $3 (inflow of $3)

Simulatenously By Selling a 3 month call option with exercise of $40 one wiil get $4(inflow of $4)

Thus the total premium income of selling a straddle is $7

Pearson Motors has a target capital structure of 30% debt and 70% common equity, with no preferred stock. The yield to maturity
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Cost of common equity is 16.49%

Explanation:

The WACC of weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital structure of the firm can comprise of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common stock.

For a firm which has only debt and equity, the WACC is calculated as follows,

WACC = wD * rD * (1 - tax rate)   +   wE * rE

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each component
  • r represents the cost of each component
  • we multiply the cost of debt (rD) by (1 - tax rate) to calculate the after tax cost of debt

Plugging in the values of the available components, we can calculate the cost of common equity to be,

0.1370 =  0.3 * 0.12 * (1 - 0.4)  +  0.7 * rE

0.1370 = 0.0216 + 0.7 * rE

0.1370 - 0.0216  = 0.7 * rE

0.1154 / 0.7  =  rE

rE = 0.164857  or  16.4857%    rounded off to 16.49%

(a) what was the opportunity cost of non-gm food for many buyers before 2008?
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Buyers opportunity cost for non genetically modified food was alternative food available before 2008

Explanation:

opportunity cost simply means cost of alternative forgone. Example if one purchases a car and utilizes for a taxi, his opportunity cost could be the value he would have received for his investment if he had bought a truck and used it for loading cement for building projects. We apply this to the question above and so the opportunity cost is alternative of non genetically modified food available that would have been bought before 2008

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Explanation:

. Determine any gain or loss if the old elevator is replaced.

Cost$120,000 Accumulated depreciation(24,000*)Book value96,000Sales proceeds(25,000) Loss on sale $ 71,000*$120,000 ÷ 5 years = $24,000 [$120,000 – ($120,000 ÷ 5) - $25,000 = $71,000][Cost – Accum. depr. – Sales proceeds = Loss on sale]

b. Prepare a 4-year summarized income statement for each of the following assumptions:

1.The old elevator is retained. Retain Old Elevator Revenues ($240,000 X 4 yrs.) $960,00012

Less costs:Variable costs ($35,000 X 4)$140,000Fixed costs ($23,000 X 4)92,000Selling & administrative116,000*Depreciation96,000444,000Net income$516,000*($29,000 X 4)

2.The old elevator is replaced.Replace Old Elevator Revenues $960,000 Less costs: Variable costs ($10,000 X 4)$ 40,000 Fixed costs ($8,500 X 4) 34,000 Selling and administrative 116,000 Depreciation 160,000350,000 Operating income 610,000 Less: Loss on old elevator 71,000 Net income $539,000[$960,000 – (($10,000 x 4) + ($8,500 x 4) + ($29,000 x 4) + ($40,000 x 4)) - $71,000 = $539,000][Rev. – ((VC x No. of yrs.) + (FC x No. of yrs.) + (S&A exp. x No. of yrs.) + (Ann. depr. x No. of yrs.) – Loss on old elevator = Net inc.]

c. Using incremental analysis, determine if the old elevator should be replaced. Retain Old Elevator Replace Old Elevator Net Income Increase (Decrease) Variable operating costs $140,000$ 40,000$ 100,000 Fixed operating costs 92,000 34,000 58,000 New elevator cost-160,000 (160,000) Salvage on old elevator-(25,000)25,000Totals$232,000$209,000$ 23,000d. Why any gain or loss should be ignored in the decision to replace the old elevator.
