The Company paid an option premium of $800 for the put option, which gives the Company the option to sell 9,000 pounds of rubber at a price of $50 per pound, which is the current spot price for rubber. The option expires on June 30, 2025. The following data is available with respect to the values of tire inventory and rubber, as well as the time value of the put option for 2023: Date Market Price of Inventory Market Price of Rubber Time Value of Put Option Nov. 30, 2023 $138 per tire $46 per pound $630 Dec. 31, 2023 $147 per tire $49 per pound $370 What is the net increase (decrease) to the Company’s 2023 net income as a result of all transactions related to the fair value hedge?
A mutаtiоn in the Xkr8 gene leаds tо а deficiency in the apоptotic response. You have isolated genomic DNA from 5 patient specimens. You designed 2 probes: (a) specific for detection of the mutant sequence and (b) specific for detection of wild type sequence. You obtain the following results for the 5 patients by running an agarose gel of the genomic DNA and then hybridization of the DNA with the above described probes. What percentage of patients have only wild type (WT), only mutant, and a mixture of wild type & mutant?
