Are there any good points?
No one wants to criticize you. Please demonstrate your professionalism instead of merely pretending to be an expert. You talk at length when teaching, yet you cannot even handle basic mathematics.
1. Six investors of different nationalities—Sophia, Yuki, David, Maggie, Hans, and Olivia—invested separately in six companies: Apple, Tesla, Amazon, Google, Meta, and Netflix. After the stock market crash, the following conditions hold:
Yuki invested in Apple, and his loss ranked second-highest among all investors.
David invested in Meta. His loss ranked higher than Yuki’s, was greater than Olivia’s, and was less than Maggie’s.
Maggie invested in Amazon, and his loss ranked between Olivia’s and Yuki’s.
Olivia invested in Google, and his loss ranked lower than David’s but was greater than Hans’s.
Hans invested in Tesla, and his loss ranked lower than Yuki’s but was less than Sophia’s.
Sophia invested in Netflix, and her loss was the smallest—less than Hans’s loss.
After the stock market crash, the percentage declines in each company’s share price were as follows:
Apple: 15% decline
Tesla: 35% decline
Amazon: 45% decline
Google: 40% decline
Meta: 30% decline
Netflix: 25% decline
Each investor initially invested $250,000. Calculate each investor’s loss and rank them from greatest to least according to their loss.
Options:
(A) Hans lost $75,000, Yuki lost $50,000, David lost $87,500, Maggie lost $100,000, Olivia lost $62,500, Sophia lost $37,500
(B) Hans lost $87,500, Yuki lost $37,500, David lost $75,000, Maggie lost $112,500, Olivia lost $100,000, Sophia lost $62,500
(C) Hans lost $75,000, Yuki lost $37,500, David lost $112,500, Maggie lost $100,000, Olivia lost $62,500, Sophia lost $50,000
(D) Hans lost $62,500, Yuki lost $50,000, David lost $100,000, Maggie lost $87,500, Olivia lost $75,000, Sophia lost $37,500
2. Suppose that in New York City, a technology company’s stock is currently priced at $200, and the company has issued a call warrant with a term of 3 months and a strike price of $220. This call warrant is priced at $10. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, an energy company has issued a similar call warrant with a strike price of $250, a term of 3 months, and a warrant price of $15.
Assume that the stocks of the two companies rise by 20% and 15%, respectively, after 3 months. If an investor purchases the companies’ call warrants in both New York City and Los Angeles and chooses to exercise the warrants, what will be the total value of the two call warrants?
Options:
(A) $1,100
(B) $1,450
(C) $1,800
(D) $2,000
