Suppose that you know today that you will be purchasing a pen of segregate early weaned pigs a few months from now and that you will need 10,000 bushels of corn for feeding purposes. Additionally, you know that given the current corn cash price of $2.35/bu., you have the potential to feed-out these pigs for a profit. However, you are concerned that the corn price may move against you before you purchase the hogs. You purchase a $2.55/bu. call option for $0.30/bu. and expect the basis to be $0.05 under. When you are ready to purchase the hogs and corn to make feed, the cash and futures prices have increased to $3.00/bu. and $3.05/bu., respectively. Assuming zero time value and that the broker charges a commission of $50 per option traded, answer the questions below.

1. What are you trying to protect against?
2. What do you call the price of $2.55/bu. of a call option?
3. What do you call the price of $0.30/bu.
4. Is your call option in-the-money/at-the-money/out-of-the-money after the price changes, and why?
5. What is the number of option contracts needed to fully protect the purchase of 10,000 bushels?
6. What is the total amount that you have to pay to purchase the necessary call options?
7. What is the basis equal to after the price changes?
8. Compute the target price.
9. Compute the gain/loss per bu. you have earned on options in terms of the premium as a result of price change.
10. Compute the effective buying price (EBP), and by comparing it to your target price comment on whether it was a good deal.
11. Compute the overall gain/loss as a result of dealing with the options.
12. Are you better/worse off as a result of dealing with options as opposed to not dealing with options at all, and why?
13. Give an example of a futures price that would render your call option out-of-the-money.

In the early part of 2018, the partners of Hugh, Jacobs, and Thomas sought assistance from a local accountant. They had begun a new business in 2017 but had never used an accountant’s services.

Hugh and Jacobs began the partnership by contributing $95,000 and $45,000 in cash, respectively. Hugh was to work occasionally at the business, and Jacobs was to be employed full-time. They decided that year-end profits and losses should be assigned as follows:

• Each partner was to be allocated 10 percent interest computed on the beginning capital balances for the period.
• A compensation allowance of $8,000 was to go to Hugh with a $17,000 amount assigned to Jacobs.
• Any remaining income would be split on a 4:6 basis to Hugh and Jacobs, respectively.

In 2017, revenues totaled $120,000, and expenses were $90,000 (not including the partners’ compensation allowance). Hugh withdrew cash of $6,000 during the year, and Jacobs took out $11,000. In addition, the business paid $8,000 for repairs made to Hugh’s home and charged it to repair expense.

On January 1, 2018, the partnership sold a 15 percent interest to Thomas for $37,000 cash. This money was contributed to the business with the bonus method used for accounting purposes.

1. Ms. Early Saver has decided to invest $1,000 at the end of each year for the next 10 years, then she will just let the amount compound for 25 additional years. Her brother, Late Saver, has a different investment program: He will invest nothing for the next 10 years but will invest $1,000 per year (at the end of each year) for the following 25 years. If we assume a 3% percent rate of return, compounded annually, which investment program will be worth more 35 years from now? If instead, the assumed interest rate is 8% percent rate which investment program will be worth more in 35 years?

   Are the results with different interest rates different? Using your results elaborate on the power of compounding and how it impacts savings in the long run.

‘Applecore’ is one of the leading management consultancy firms in the UK since early 2000 and they have an enviable track record among a diverse clientele across several major industries in the region.
