Mr. Handsome is interested in the UGLY stock. He finds that the price should be $3, but the market price is $5 per share now. Mr. Handsome has $2,000 in his margin account. The initial margin requirement is 40%, and the maintenance margin is 30%. Assume there are no interests and service charges. Mr. Handsome covers his short position at $4 and deposits all proceeds to his margin account. But he still thinks the price will decrease to $3. So he short again as many shares as possible. After this transaction, Company UGLY receives a great donation. So its stock price increases to $5. Mr. Handsome has to cover his short position. Then how much is left in his margin account? More than or less than his initial funds? Can you provide any intuition for your answer?

The option your firm purchased has a strike price of SGD1.41/USD. Given that the spot rate in one month's time is SGD1.42/USD, should your firm exercise the option? Explain your reason(s).
Typically, people buy shares of stock in the expectation that the stock's price will increase, but it is also possible to make money by correctly anticipating that a stock's price will decline -- "selling short." Assume that you think that Volkswagen (VW) stock is going to decline in price over the next few months because of continuing uncertainty about why the company cheated on its emissions testing. A share of VW stock is currently selling for $50. You arrange to borrow 100 shares of VW stock for three months for a price of $1 per share. Three months later, sure enough, VW stock is selling for only $40 per share. You then purchase 100 shares at $40 each and return the 100 shares of VW stock that you borrowed. How much money did you make or lose? Earned $900 O Lost $1,100 Lost $1,000 Earned $1,100 Earned $1,000.
