A customer purchases 1 XYZ July 50 call @ 5. The customer will breakeven at which of the following market prices for the underlying security?[A] 5[B] 45[C] 50[D] 55
Answer:
(D) 55
Explanation:
For the purchase of 1 XYZ July 50 call @ 5, the customer has already paid a call premium of $5 (indicated by the @5).
The exercise price of the call is $50, meaning the call option gives the customer the right to buy XYZ at $50.
Thus, the customer will break even when the market price of XYZ = the exercise price + the premium
= 50 + 5 = 55.
At that market price ($55), the customer would pay a total of $5 premium, plus an exercise price of $50, which equals $55 (same as the market price.

the purchaser's books at:__________.
Answer:

Total amount paid to stock holders=
Dividend per share * no of shares
11.7*8,000=93,600

Why can hiring people through the attraction-selection-attrition (ASA) framework be disadvantageous?
Answer: Like minded employees have difficulty offering fresh perspectives.
Explanation: The attraction - selection - attrition framework, or ASA framework is a model that states that people within a workplace are a function of 3 interellated elements: attraction, selection and attrition. It basically goes on to say that individuals are attracted to, selected by and kept in organisations by other employees who have the same psychological attributes as themselves.

Many conservative consumer advocates said you should not pay more than 25% of your TAKE-HOME PAY on a mortgage payment
A. True
B. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
There is a general consensus that one has to be very conservative and avoid spending more than 35 percent of pretax income on home insurance payment, property tax, and mortgage.

An issuer has filed a registration statement in the state proposing to offer 500,000 shares in a combined primary and secondary distribution, consisting of 300,000 newly issued shares and another 200,000 shares being offered by the officers of the firm. Under Uniform State Law, the:_______.
a. 500,000 shares being sold is an issuer transaction.
b. 300,000 shares being sold is an issuer transaction and the 200,000 shares being sold is a non-issuer transaction.
c. 300,000 shares being sold is a non-issuer transaction and the 200,000 shares being sold is an issuer transaction.
d. 500,000 shares being sold is a non-issuer transaction.
Answer:
b. 300,000 shares being sold is an issuer transaction and the 200,000 shares being sold is a non-issuer transaction.
Explanation:
A non-issuer transaction is a transaction that does not directly benefit an issuer or it was not directly executed to benefit an issuer.
According to the Uniform State Law, an entity involved in the sales of certificates of interest, leases, mining titles among others is officially exempted from being labelled as an issuer. Hence, the entity (officers of the firm) in the question are non-issuer brokers.
Specifically, when the sales of stock are carried out by someone or an individual who is not a registered stockbroker, that individual officially becomes what is called 'a non-issuer broker-dealer'. The implication is that such a transaction is to be exempted from the registration requirements of the Security Exchange Commission.
In this question, since the issuer newly issued 300,000 shares while the remaining 200,000 in the proposed combination was offered by Officers of the firm - non-issuer broker-dealers. The Law states that it must be separated to show that 300,000 shares are sold in an issuer transaction (Primary) directly involving an official issuer while 200,000 shares are sold in a non-issuer transaction (Secondary).
n 2010, Tara used $50,000 from funds she had invested in certificates of deposit as a down payment to buy a house. What function did this portion of her investments serve when she made the down payment?
Answer:
Medium of Exchange
Explanation:
A certificate of deposit represents a legal document issued by a commercial or economic institution such as a bank as evidence of a sum of money deposited by the individual for a particular period and with a specified rate of interest.
A Medium of Exchange, on the other hand, represents an intermediary system or instrument that can be used to make sales, purchases and facilitate the trade of goods or services between various parties. To qualify as a medium of exchange, the instrument should have a standard face value and must be acceptable to all parties.
Since Tara was able to put down $50,000 as represented on the Certificates of deposit, it becomes a medium of exchange, because it has a standard face value (as determined by the bank) and it is acceptable both by Tara and the estate from which Tara is purchasing the house.
Securities not listed on one of the exchanges trade in the over-the-counter market. In this exchange, dealers "make a market" by:_______
A) buying stocks for inventory when investors want to sell.
B) selling stocks from inventory when investors want to buy.
C) doing both of the above.
D) doing neither of the above.
Answer:
(C) doing both of the above
Explanation:
When dealers "make a market", they do so by providing liquidity in a market that may lack such. Liquidity measures the ease with which participants can buy and sell in a market. Thus, by making a market, a dealer buys stocks for inventory when investors want to sell, and sells stocks from inventory when investors want to buy.
On December 31, 2005, Grey, Inc. owned 90% of Winn Corp., a consolidated subsidiary, and 20% of Carr Corp., an investee in which Grey cannot exercise significant influence. On the same date, Grey had receivables of $300,000 from Winn and $200,000 from Carr. In its December 31, 2005, consolidated balance sheet, Grey should report accounts receivable from affiliates of:______a) $500,000b) $340,000c) $230,000d) $200,000
Answer:
d) 200,000
Explanation:
Grey Inc. owned 90% of Winn Corp, which is classified as subsidiary and is accounted for by consolidating the financial statements of the subsidiary.
Grey Inc. owned 20% of Carr Corp. and does not have significant influence so indicating that the investment is supposed to be classified at fair value.
Consolidation Method of accounting involves adding all assets and liabilities of the subsidiary in the financial statements of Parent Company. However, inter company balances (receivable / payable) are eliminated and thus are not included in consolidated financial statements to avoid double counting, thus the balance receivable from Winn Corp, is not included in the consolidated balance sheet of Grey Inc.
Change in fair value of Carr Corp is taken either in profit / loss or directly taken to statement of changes in equity depending on the policy of Grey Inc. However any receivable / payable between shareholder and the invested company appears as it is in the balance sheet, therefore the balance of $200,000 receivable from Carr Corp shall appear as receivable in consolidated balance sheet of Grey Inc.
Final answer:
Grey, Inc. should eliminate the receivables from the consolidated subsidiary Winn Corp. in the consolidated balance sheet but include the receivables from Carr Corp., resulting in accounts receivable from affiliates amounting to $200,000.
Explanation:
When preparing consolidated financial statements, a parent company must eliminate any intercompany transactions and balances with its consolidated subsidiaries. Since Grey, Inc. owns 90% of Winn Corp., which is considered a consolidated subsidiary, any receivables from Winn should be eliminated in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the 20% ownership of Carr Corp. indicates an investment without significant influence, thus financial reporting for this stake is treated differently, typically using the cost or equity method, and should not be eliminated. Therefore, Grey should report the $200,000 from Carr as accounts receivable in its consolidated balance sheet.
Consequently, the correct amount of accounts receivable from affiliates that Grey should report is $200,000.
Ross and Tony, father and son, opened a large boutique named Tradus in Chicago. The father and son, being the owners of the business concern, decide about the important matters and all the rest of the functions like the product, finance, marketing, and personnel are carried out by the department heads who have to act as per the instruction and orders of both of them. Which of the following is true about Tradus?
a. It has a very tall organizational structure.
b. The degree of formalization is very low in the organization.
c. It has a centralized system of decision making.
d. It has a narrow span of control.
e. It has a matrix organizational structure.
Answer:
c. It has a centralized system of decision making.
Explanation:
Tradus operates a centralized system management as decisions are taken at the apex of the organisational hierarchy. He the CEO or chairman of the board takes up decision making roles from units and departments.
Final answer:
Tradus, the boutique operated by Ross and Tony, clearly employs a centralized system of decision making, where the owners make all significant decisions and the department heads execute these directives.
Explanation:
The business structure described for Tradus, a boutique opened by Ross and Tony in Chicago, provides clear insight into the operational dynamics of their establishment. Given that all major decisions are made by the owners, Ross and Tony, and all department heads act based on their directives, it's evident that Tradus operates under a centralized system of decision making. This approach is characterized by decision-making authority being concentrated at the top level, with lower levels executing those decisions without inputs on strategic matters. This structure simplifies decision-making processes, but may limit innovation and responsiveness at lower levels.
Contrary to a decentralized system where decision-making powers are distributed across various levels within an organization, a centralized system significantly reduces the complexity of managing the operations but can also slow down decision-making processes and limit the sense of autonomy among employees.
Northern Company is preparing a cash budget for June. The company has $12,000 cash at the beginning of June and anticipates $30,000 in cash receipts and $34,500 in cash disbursements during June. Northern Company has an agreement with its bank to maintain a cash balance of at least $10,000. As of May 31, the company owes $15,000 to the bank. To maintain the $10,000 required balance, during June the company must:
Answer:
Save additional $17,500 or reduce disbursement by that much
Explanation:
The cash budget of the company would be as follows:
May 31 owed to be bank ($15,000)
June 1 opening cash balance $12,000
June expected cash receipts $30,000
June expected cash disbursement ($34,500)
Net cash flow at the end of June (excluding bank): $7,500
Net cash flow (including bank): $7,500 - $15,000 = ($7,500)
Thus, the company will be owing the bank $7,500 by the end of June.
To maintain the minimum $10,000 positive balance with the bank, the company would need to payback the $7,500 which will be owed by the end of June, and make additional deposit of $10,000.
Total deposit required = $7,500 + $10,000 = $17,500.
This can be achieved by reducing expected disbursement by $17,500 or via other means.
The misperceptions theory of the short-run aggregate supply curve says that the quantity of output supplied will increase if the price level
a. increases by more than expected so that firms believe the relative price of their output has decreased.
b. increases by less than expected so that firms believe the relative price of their output has decreased.
c. increases by less than expected so that firms believe the relative price of their output has increased.
d. increases by more than expected so that firms believe the relative price of their output has increased.
Answer:
Option C is correct
Explanation:
This means an increase in actual price would make quantity aggregate supply curve to shift to the right.
The correct answer is that the quantity of output supplied will increase if the price level increases by more than expected, leading firms to believe the relative price of their output has increased.
Explanation:The misperceptions theory of the short-run aggregate supply curve suggests that the quantity of output supplied will increase if the price level increases by more than expected so that firms believe the relative price of their output has increased. Option (d) 'increases by more than expected so that firms believe the relative price of their output has increased' is the correct answer. This theory assumes that in the short-run, firms may misinterpret general increases in prices as increases in the relative prices of their products, which may lead them to increase production. Under the rational expectations framework, it is believed that people will not be consistently fooled by changes in the price level, and as a result, any effect on output and employment will be temporary, with the only long-term effect being on the price level.

For most commercial property types, lease lengths can vary considerably. Therefore, both parties must tradeoff between the advantages and disadvantages associated with particular leasing terms. Owners may prefer longer leases for all of the following reasons EXCEPT:
Answer:
Gain flexibility
Explanation:
Flexibility in business refers to continually trying to become more efficient and able to generate a higher profit.
When you sign longer contracts, you know how much money you are going to pay (the lessee) and receive (the lessor) in advance for several years. That reduces uncertainty and risks, but it also reduces (or almost eliminates) the possibility of higher returns since your investment becomes inflexible.
