Answer:

a) $8

b) $4

c) Decrease

Explanation:

Background.

A call option as you probably know, is an agreement to buy an asset on or before a particular day at a price already determined in the agreement.

a) the Intrinsic value of the option is the market price minus the strike price.

Intrinsic Value = Market Price - Strike price

= $43 - $35

= $8 per share.

It is worthy of note that for an option, of the intrinsic value dips into negative figures it is just said to be 0.

b) To calculate the time value, we subtract the intrinsic value from the call premium

= Call Premium - Intrinsic value

= $12 - $8

= $4

c) The call option has 6 months to maturity and the dividends are to come in 3 months. Share prices usually drop after a dividend has been paid so because the call option matures in 6 months, the price of the call option will DECREASE owing to the Expected drop in stock price.

Answer:

c. GDP increases by $22.00.

Explanation:

The GDP is the sum of all final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period.

GDP = Consumption spending + Investment + Government Spending + Net Export

Only final goods and services are included in the calculation of GDP.

The wheat purchased by Wholesome Wheat Bakery is an intermediate good whuch is still used in the production of bread. Therefore, it isn't included in the calculation of GDP.

Bread is a final good and it's included in the GDP. Therefore, GDP increases by $22.

A manufacturer of microwaves has discovered that male shoppers have little value for microwaves and attribute almost no extra va
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

If the number of male and female buyers is the same, then the best pricing strategy is to offer 2 different microwaves (option 3). One simple and cheap microwave for men and one with auto-defrost for women.

Explanation:

If most buyers were women (significantly higher), then option 2 would be better, since $121 per microwave is a much higher price and even though total sales numbers may not be maximized, profits will probably be maximized.

If most buyers are men, then option 1 would be probably better, depending on the proportion of male vs female buyers.

ozzi

Answer:

$40,000 per year; $37,500 per year; $40,000.

Explanation:

From the question above, we are given the following parameters; Alpha Firm offers a salary = $40,000 per year + no bonuses, "Beta Firm offers a base salary of $35,000 per year with a 25% chance that you will receive an annual bonus of $10,000".

So, to answer the question,the expected salary of working for Alpha Firm will surely be = $40,000 per year.

At Beta Firm the expected salary is = $35,000 + 0.25($10,000) = $37,500.

Therefore, if I was risk neutral, the expected value of the year bonus offered by Beta Firm would need to be at least $40,000 for me not to be indifferent to the choice between the two options.
