Answer to Problem 11PS

Percentage change in net worth if price changes to $22 is 13.33%

Percentage change in net worth if price changes to $20 is 0%

Percentage change in net worth if price changes to $18 is -13.33%

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

Selling price per share: $20

Number of shares: 1,000

Initial investment: $15,000

If share price of X changes to $22

  Percentage change in net worth=( New Net Worth1Old Net Worth)Old Net Worth($17,000$15,000)$15,000=13.33%

If share price of X changes to $20

  Percentage change in net worth=( New Net Worth2Old Net Worth)Old Net Worth=($15,000$15,000)$15,000=0%

If share price of X changes to $18

  Percentage change in net worth=( New Net Worth3Old Net Worth)Old Net Worth($13,000$15,000)$15,000=13.33%

Working Notes:

Calculation of current net worth:

  Current Net worth=No. of Shares×Current Market Price Borrowed Funds=1,000×$20$5,000=$15,000

  New Net worth= 1,000×$225,000=$17,000

  New Net worth= 1,000×$205,000=$15,000

  New Net worth= 1,000×$18$5,000=$13,000

Answer to Problem 11PS

Margin call will be generated when the price is $13.33 or lower.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

Maintenance margin: 25%

Computing the price at which margin call will be generated:

Price is denoted by P

The total value of shares is 1000P

  Price=(No. of Shares × Price)Borrowed FundsNo. of Shares × Price=( 1,000P$5,000)1,000P=0.25When P= $13.33 or lower

The chances of getting a margin call increases when the equity of business gets decreased.

Answer to Problem 11PS

Margin call will be generated when price is $13.33 or lower.

Explanation of Solution

Given,

Initial investment: $10,000

The total value of shares is 1,000P, (Here P denotes the price)

Now, the money of your own is reduced to $10,000 which means the borrowed amount is increased to $10,000.

  Price=(No. of Shares × Price)Borrowed FundsNo. of Shares × Price=( 1,000P$10,000)1,000P=0.25When P= $26.67 or lower

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The rate of return on the margined position and the relationship between percentage change and percentage return in the price of X

Introduction: The return on investment is the total profit or loss of the initial investment using a margined position, which is calculated as a percentage change for analyzing the relationship between change in the price and return over the price.

Answer to Problem 11PS

Return over the price if a price change to $22 is 10.67%

Return over the price if price changes to $20 is -2.67%

Return over the price if price changes to $18 is -16%

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

Number of shares: 1,000

Initial investment: $15,000

Return over the price if Price of X changes to $22

  Return Over Price= Purchasing Price Borrowed fund Intial investmentInitial Investment=1,000($22)($1.08)5,000$15,000$15,000=1,000($22)$20,400$15000=10.67%

Return over the price would be 10.67%

Return over the price if Price of X changes to $20

  Return Over Price= Purchasing Price Borrowed fund Intial investmentInitial Investment=1,000($20)(1.08)5,000$15,000$15,000=1,000($20)$20,400$15,000=2.67%

Return over the price would be -2.67%

Return over the price if Price of X changes to $18

  Return Over Price= Purchasing Price Borrowed Fund Intial InvestmentInitial Investment=1,000($18)(1.08)$5,000$15,000$15,000=1,000($18)$20,400$15,000=16%

Return over the price would be -16%
