Answer:

2 cents

Explanation:

The spot price = $0.7000 = 70 cents, The forward rate = $0.6950 = 69.5 cents and the call option with striking price = $0.6800 = 68.00 cents

The annualized six month rate = 3 1/2 % = 3.5 %, therefore the rate = r/n, where n is the number of period per year = 2. Therefore r/n = 3.5% / 2 = 0.035 / 2 = 0.0175

The minimum price = Maximum (spot price - striking price, (forward rate - striking price) / (1 + 0.0175), 0) = Maximum(70 - 68, (69.5 - 68)/ 0.0175, 0)

Minimum price = Maximum (2 , 1.47, 0) = 2 cents

Answer:

The probability that a person selected at random has virus and is aged between 21 and 25 is 0.58.

Explanation:

let A be the event that the selected person has a virus.

let B1, B2 and B3 be the events that the selected perosn is  M, W and L accordingly.

the probabilities are given by:

P(B1) = 0.3

P(B2) = 0.5

P(B3) = 0.2

P(A|B1) = 0.65

P(A|B2) = 0.82

P(A|B3) =  0.5

probability of having virus and aged between 21 and 25 is given by:

[P(B2)*P(A|B2)]/[P(B1)*P(A|B1) + P(B2)*P(A|B2) + P(B3)*P(A|B3)]

= [(0.5)*(0.82)]/[(0.3)*(0.65) + (0.5)*(0.82) + (0.2)*(0.5)]

= 0.58

Therefore, the probability that a person selected at random has virus and is aged between 21 and 25 is 0.58.

ella [17]

Solution:

Step 1:

To measure the sage unit cost of the year of a commodity, plan the statement below:

Details                                                                       Year 1          Year 2

Direct materials per unit                                              $25              $25

Add: Direct labour per unit                                             $15              $15

Add: Variable manufacturing overhead per unit         $5               $5

Total product cost per unit                                            $45            $45  

Thus, the unit product cost under variable costing for yea 1 and year 2 is $45  

Step 2:

                       Variable costing income statement

                      For the year ended year 1 and year 2

Add: Direct labour per unit                                   $15               $15

Add: Variable manufacturing overhead per unit   $5              $5

Add: Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit

       Year - 1 - ($250,000 + 50,000 units)

       Year - 1 - ($250,000 + 40,000 units)               $5             $6

Optimization using total value calculates ________.
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Optimization using total value calculates the total value of each feasible option and then picks the option with the highest total value.

Optimization using marginal analysis calculates the change in total value when a person switches from one feasible option to another, and the uses these marginal comparisons to choose the option with the highest total value.

Both gives identical answers.

Optimization can be implemented using many different techniques.

One of it, is Total value total benefit - total cost (net benefit).

It translate all cost and benefits into common units, like dollar per month.

Calculate the total net benefit of each alternative.

Pick the alternative with the highest net benefit.
