An investor implements a collar strategy by purchasing 100 shares of the Tesla stock at a price of $840 per share, selling 100 call options on the Tesla stock with a strike price $880 per share, and buying 100 put option on the Tesla with a strike price of $800. The premium of the call option is $35 per share and the premium of the put option is $32. At which stock price at the maturity of the option will the investor break even

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: $837

Explanation:

The following information can be gotten from the question:

Purchase price = $840 per share

Premium of call option = $35 per share

Premium of put option = $32 per share

From the above, the premium received will be:

= $35 - $32 = $3

Investors break even will then be:

= Purchase price - Premium received

= $840 - $3

= $837

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales revenues= $620,000

Variable expenses= $359,700

Traceable fixed expenses= $74,100

To calculate the segment margin for the Domestic division, we need to use the following formula:

Segment margin Domestic = segment contribution margin - traceable fixed expense

Segment margin Domestic = (620,000 - 359,700) - 74,100

Segment margin Domestic = $186,200

i. The profit-maximizing price and output
ii. Area of loss
C. Assume Clark is maximizing profit. What will happen to its total revenue if Clark raises its price? Explain.
d. If demand for the new device increases, explain what will happen to each of the following in the short run.
i. Profit-maximizing output
ii. Total cost

Answers

Solution :

c. MC=MR is the profit maximizing equilibrium point. The price rise beyond that is likely to raise the total revenue. But the total cost might increase equally or more then that to nullify or decrease the profit.

d. (i). The demand increase implies that the AR (demand) curve shifts rightwards. This will increase the equilibrium price.

(ii). Change in demand does not affect the total cost.

a. Monopoly might continue to produce in short earn even if its AR < AC. It continues to do so until shut down point. It refers that production continued until average revenue (AR) is greater than equal to the average variable cost (AVC). The monopoly is a market with a single seller.

This market's average revenue (AR) demand curve is above its marginal curve . The curves are downward sloping, illustrating price demand inverse relationship.

Equilibrium quantity : when the marginal revenue = marginal cost

Equilibrium price : equilibrium quantity corresponding price at AR (demand ) curve.

Answers

Answer:

(D) I think

Explanation:

When your husband or spouse dies,you file as a widower. If he has children he could get extra benefits because he can file his kids as a Dependent on his Taxes.

Hope this helps:)!

Stay beautiful ❤️

With Riley having died in 2016, the procedure would be that b) Since Jeff’s spouse died during the year, he may be entitled to the special qualifying widower with dependent child benefits for tax year 2017 and 2018.

Special Qualifying WidowerAllows a widower to still fill taxes jointly as a married person for two years after the spouse dies. Can only apply if there is at least a single dependent child.

There are two dependent children in this scenario so Jeff qualifies for this filling status. As Riley died in 2016, Jeff's two years would be the years 2017 and 2018.

In conclusion, option B is correct.

Net income             $16,500

2. Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory

= $28,700/$1,700 = 16.88 times

3. I expect the inventory turnover ratio for Baskin-Robbin's shops at Raleigh to be higher in December 2021.  There will be more sales of the different flavors of ice cream in December because of the Christmas holidays.  As a result, the cost of goods sold will be higher than July's, and the ending inventory will be lower still than July's.

(ID#32648)
What were Sraibn 620 Corporation's common fixed expenses?
a) $15,450
b) $106,550
c) $55,400
d) $70,850

Answers

Answer:

Common fixed expense= $15,450

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin from the two divisions:

Domestic Division= $47,800

Foreign Division= 235,000*0.25= $58,750

Total contribution margin= $106,550

Now, we can determine the common fixed expense using the following formula:

Net operating income= total contribution margin - traceable fixed expense - common fixed expense

35,700 = 106,550 - 55,400 - common fixed expense

common fixed expense= 51,150 - 35,700

common fixed expense= $15,450

Which of the following statements about adjustments is correct? Multiple Choice Accrued wages are wages owed, but not yet paid, to employees; the accrued wages will need to be recorded with an adjusting entry that increases expenses. When making an adjustment to recognize supplies used in a period, total assets will not change. Deferral adjustments are used to update amounts that have been previously deferred on the income statement. Depreciation is an example of an accrual adjustment.

Answers

Answer:

The Statement that is correct about adjustments is:

Accrued wages are wages owed, but not yet paid, to employees; the accrued wages will need to be recorded with an adjusting entry that increases expenses.

Explanation:

Unpaid wages are adjusted with a debit to the Wages Expense account, which increases the account, and a credit to the Wages Payable account, which also increases the account by the same amount.  The purpose of this accrual adjustment is to ensure that the amount reported as Wages Expense is the actual expense incurred for Wages, whether actually paid or not, and thus report the accurate net income and liabilities for the period.

Sewtfi951 Corporation makes an extra large part to use in one its fabulous products. A total of 14,500 units of this extra large part are produced and used every year. The company's costs of producing the extra large part at this level of activity are below:
Per Unit
Direct materials $3.20
Direct labor $7.80
Variable manufacturing overhead $8.30
Supervisor's salary $3.70
Depreciation of special equipment $2.10
Allocated general overhead $7.30
An outside supplier has offered to make the extra large part and sell it to Sewt1951 for $32.30 each If this offer is accepted the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including the direct labor, can be avoided The special equipment used to make the extra large part has no salvage value or other use The allocated general overhead representa fixed costs of the entire Sewt1951 company. none of which would be avoided at the part were purchased instead of produced internally. In addition, the space used to make the extra large part could be used to make more of one of the company's other fabulous products, generating an additional segment margin of $34,500 per year for that product
What would be the annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for Sewt1951 Corp as a result of buying the extra large part from the outside supplier?

Answers

Answer:

($100,350)

Explanation:

Relevant cost to make

                                                         Per Unit    14,500 units

Direct materials                                 $3.20         $46,400

Direct labor                                        $7.80        $113,100

Variable manufacturing overhead   $8.30        $120,350

Supervisor's salary                            $3.70        $53,650

Relevant cost to make                      $23          $333,500

Relevant Cost to buy

                                                           Per Unit    14,500 units

Purchase price                                   $32.30      $468,350

Less: Additional segment margin                       $34,500

Relevant Cost to buy                                           $433,850

Here, we have financial disadvantage to buy as Relevant cost to make is lesser than Relevant Cost to buy

Financial (Disadvantage to buy) = $333,500 - $433,850

Financial (Disadvantage to buy) = ($100,350)

Chu Company provided the following information related to its inventory sales and purchases for December Year 1 and the first quarter of Year 2: Dec. Year 1 Jan. Year 2 Feb. Year 2 Mar. Year 2 (Actual) (Budgeted) (Budgeted) (Budgeted)Cost of goods sold $ 30,000 $ 60,000 $ 80,000 $ 50,000 Desired ending inventory levels are 34% of the following month's projected cost of goods sold. Budgeted purchases of inventory in February Year 2 would be:

Answers

Answer:

Budgeted purchases of inventory in February Year 2 would be $69,800

Explanation:

___________CGS _Ending Inventory_Beginning Inventory _ Purchases

Dec. Year 1 _$30,000 _ $20,400 _____ $0 _____________$0

Jan. Year 2 _$60,000 _$27,200 _____ $20,400_________$66,800

Feb. Year 2 _$80,000_ $17,000 ______$27,200_________$69,800

Use following formula to calculate the Purchases

Cost of Goods sold = Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Ending Inventory

Purchases = Cost of Goods sold - Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory

Placing value of Jan Year 2

Purchases = $60,000 - $20,400 + $27,200 = $66,800

Placing value of Feb Year 2

Purchases = $80,000 - $27,200 + $17,000 = $69,800

Budgeting, ethics, pharmaceutical company. Chris Jackson was recently promoted to Controller of Research and Development for BrisC or, a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company that manufactures prescription drugs and nutritional supplements. The company’s total R&amp ; D cost for 2017 was expected (budgeted) to be $5 billion. During the company’s midyear budget review, Chris realized that current R&amp ; D expenditures were already at $3.5 billion, nearly 40% above the midyear target. At this current rate of expenditure, the R&amp ; D division was on track to exceed its total year-end budget by $2 billion!
In a meeting with CFO Ronald Meece later that day, Jackson delivered the bad news. Meece was both shocked and outraged that the R&D spending had gotten out of control. Meece wasn’t any more understanding when Jackson revealed that the excess cost was entirely related to research and development of a new drug, Vyacon, which was expected to go to market next year. The new drug would result in large profits for BrisCor, if the product could be approved by year-end. Meece had already announced his expectations of third-quarter earnings to Wall Street analysts. If the R&D expenditures weren’t reduced by the end of the third quarter, Meece was certain that the targets he had announced publicly would be missed and the company’s stock price would tumble. Meece instructed Jackson to make up the budget shortfall by the end of the third quarter using "whatever means necessary." Jackson was new to the controller’s position and wanted to make sure that Meece’s orders were followed. Jackson came up with the following ideas for making the third-quarter budgeted targets:
1. Stop all research and development efforts on the drug Vyacon until after year-end. This change would delay the drug going to market by at least 6 months. It is possible that in the meantime a BrisCor competitor could make it to market with a similar drug.
2. Sell off rights to the drug Martek. The company had not planned on doing this because, under current market conditions, it would get less than fair value. It would, however, result in a one-time gain that could offset the budget shortfall. Of course, all future profits from Martek would be lost. Capitalize some of the company’s R&D expenditures, reducing R&D expense on the income statement. This transaction would not be in accordance with GAAP, but Jackson thought it was justifiable because the Vyacon drug was going to market early next year. Jackson would argue that capitalizing R&D costs this year and expensing them next year would better match revenues and expenses.
3. Referring to the "Standards of Ethical Behavior for Practitioners of Management Accounting and Financial Management,"
4. Which of the preceding items are acceptable to use? Which are unacceptable? What would you recommend Jackson do?

Answers

Answer:

BrisCor

Budgeting, ethics, pharmaceutical company

a. Referring to the "Standards of Ethical Behavior for Practitioners of Management Accounting and Financial Management,"

none of the preceding items are acceptable to use.

b. I would recommend Jackson to go ahead with the R&D throughout the year to ensure that the drug Vyacon was successfully brought to the market next year before the competitor.  He can try to keep to the budget going forward.  A budget remains a budget and not the actual.  Budget overrun can result.  What is important is its effectiveness in achieving business goals.

Explanation:

The announced expectations of third-quarter earnings to Wall Street analysts should not prevent the R&D on the drug Vyacon from continuing, provided Jackson is certain that the envisaged success would be attained.  They remain expectations.  They are not the actual results of operations for the year. Even if the company's stock price would tumble, it would still recover after the drug had received approval and gone to market, raking in large profits.  After all, the projected increase in R&D cost might not result, and the drug Vyacon could be fully developed and ready for the market before year-end, thereby not exceeding its budget.
