Suppose you think Apple stock is going to appreciate substantially in value in the next year. Say the stockâs current price, S0, is $100, and a call option expiring in one year has an exercise price, X, of $100 and is selling at a price, C, of $10. With $10,000 to invest, you are considering three alternatives. a. Invest all $10,000 in the stock, buying 100 shares.
b. Invest all $10,000 in 1,000 options (10 contracts).
c. Buy 100 options (one contract) for $1,000, and invest the remaining $9,000 in a money market fund paying 4% in interest over 6 months (8% per year).
What is your rate of return for each alternative for the following four stock prices in 6 months? (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round the "Percentage return of your portfolio (Bills + 100 options)" answers to 2 decimal places.)
The percentage return of your portfolio in six months for each of the following stock prices is:
Price of stock 6 months from now
Stock price: $80 $100 $110 $120
All stocks (100 shares): % % % %
All options (1000 options):

The monthly demand equation for an electric utility company is estimated to be p equals 60 minus left parenthesis 10 superscript negative 5 baseline right parenthesis x, where p is measured in dollars and x is measured in thousands of killowatt-hours. the utility has fixed costs of $3 comma 000 comma 000 per month and variable costs of $32 per 1000 kilowatt-hours of electricity generated, so the cost function is upper c left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals 3 times 10 superscript 6 baseline plus 32 x. (a) find the value of x and the corresponding price for 1000 kilowatt-hours that maximize the utility's profit. (b) suppose that the rising fuel costs increase the utility's variable costs from $32 to $38, so its new cost function is upper c 1 left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals 3 times 10 superscript 6 baseline plus 38 x. should the utility pass all this increase of $6 per thousand kilowatt-hours on to the consumers?
