Answer:
The rate of return on the investment if the price fall by 7% next year is -22% which is shown below.
The price of Telecom would have to fall by $71.43($250-$178.57), before a margin call could be placed.
Lastly,if the price fall immediately,the margin price would $178.57 as shown below
Explanation:
Total shares bought=$40000/$250=160 shares
Interest on amount borrowed=8%*$20000=$1600
When the price falls by 7% the new price =$250(1-0.07)=$232.50
Hence rate of return=(New price*number of shares-Interest-total investment)/initial investor's funds
=($232.50*160-$40000-$1600)/$20000=-22%
Initial margin=investor's money/total investment=$20000/$40000=50%
maintenance margin=30%
Margin call price=Current price x (1- initial margin)/ (1- maintenance margin)
=$250*(1-0.5)/(1-0.3)
=$178.57
Answer:
rise by $40 billion
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the investment will be
Investment=$100 billion*(100%-60%)
=$100 billion*40%
=$40 billion
Therefore the investment will rise by $40 billion
<span>The original cost of protein bar = $2.50
The increased cost of protein bar = $2.80
Therefore, the increase in price of the protein bar = $2.80-$2.50
=$0.30
percentage increase = (Difference in price / Original price) x 100
=(0.30/2.50)x100
=(3/25)x100
=3 x 4
=12%</span>
