Cost of Strategy Assignment | Homework For You

Joseph Jones, a manager at Computer Science, Inc. (CSI), received 1,000 shares of
company stock as part of his compensation package. He did not pay for the shares. The
stock currently sells at $40 a share. Joseph would like to defer selling the stock until the
next tax year. In January, however, he will need to sell all his holdings to provide for a
down payment on his new house. Joseph is worried about the price risk involved in
keeping his shares. At current prices, he would receive $40,000 for the stock. If the
value of his stock holdings falls below $35,000, his ability to come up with the necessary
down payment would be jeopardized. On the other hand, if the stock value rises to
$45,000, he would be able to maintain a small cash reserve even after making the down
payment. Joseph considers two investment strategies:Homework For You

These options also sell for $3 each. (Hint: The strategy B is to buy 1,000 shares

$35).
Evaluate each of these strategies with respect to Joseph’s investment goals.
