Answer:

Explanation:

The Risk neutral probability is given by

e rt − D / U-D

U=1.1

D=0.9

R=0.12

T=3/12

π u = e∧ 0.12 ∗ 3 / 12 − 0.9 /1.1 − 0.9

 =0.652

π d = 1− 0.652 = 0.348

The values of american and european options at each node is given in the following table.

                                    0.652  

                                                                                                    0  

                                                                0.81   48.4  

                                                                0.652    

                                                                0.81    

American option value     2.54         44    

probability                    0.652/0.3478'  

Option value                     2.12        2.4  

Futures price                        40           6      39.6  

                                                               0.3478    

                                                               4.76    

                                                                  36    

                                                                                           0.3478  

                                                                                           9.6  

                                                                                          32.4  

Time period                         0      3           6

the value at up node at 3 months is given by = ( 0.652∗ 0 ) + ( 0.3478 ∗ 2.4 )/e ∧0.12 ∗ 3 / 12 = 0.81

Hence, value of european put option =$2.12

Value of American put option = 2.54

fiasKO [112]

Answer: $1.89

Explanation: As, we know that :-

Basic\:EPS=\frac{net\:income\:for\:common\:shareholders}{no.\:of\:shares}

where,

net income for common shareholders = net income - preferred dividend

                                                                   = $20 - $3 = $17

No.\:of\:shares=10\times \frac{12}{12}-2\times \frac{6}{12}

                                 = 9 shares

so putting the values into equation we get :-

Basic\:EPS=\frac{\$17}{9shares}

                 = $1.89

Bess wrote four checks last month, and these were the only transactions for her checking account. According to her check registe
Wittaler [7]

Answer: $184.34 

Bess issued four  checks with amounts $175.17, $175.53, $175.35,and $184.34. With the total amount she issued, she expected her balance based on her cash register to be $869.96, but as per bank statement, her balance is $1054.13.

To get the amount of check which is not cleared yet, we have to deduct the balance in the cash check register from that of the bank statement:

$1054.13-$869.96 =184.17

$184.34 is the best answer because it is the last he wrote and the discrepancy of 0.17 may be due to some bank charges Bess had not recorded.

What are some financial consequences that could happen to a borrower if he or she cannot pay back a car loan from a financial in
Cerrena [4.2K]

The bank can repossess the car and if anything is used as collateral they can claim that as well. It is best to not get yourself in debt you cannot pay off.

One way to calculate debt is to figure out what your income is per week, and divide that by the weekly payments for the car. Lets say you make 3200, and your debt is 450 a week.

As shown below

<em>Income ÷ Payments </em>

3200 ÷ 450 = 0.14

Now multiply that by 100 to get your percentage,

0.14 x 100 = %14

Financial advisors recommend that you keep your debt-to-income ratio under 30%.
