Answer:

(a) Since the percentage margin is more than maintenance margin, there would be no call

(b) A margin call would be received when the price is $15.26

Explanation:

(a) Total investment = $23,072 × $\frac{100}{50}$ = $46,144

Total shares = Total investment ÷ share price

= $46,144 ÷ $41.2 = 1,120

Value of share in market = new price × number of shares

= $41 × 1,120

= $45,920

Value of equity = Value of share in the market - borrowed cash

= $45,920 - $23,072

= $22,848

Percentage margin = Value of equity ÷ Value of shares

= ($22,848 ÷ $45,920) × 100%

= 49.76%

(b) Total number of shares = 1,120

Assumed value of shares = $1,120X

Borrowed fund = $23,072

Value of equity = $1,120X - $23,072

Margin = Value of equity ÷ Value of shares

0.35 = ($1,120X - $23,072) ÷ $1,120X

392X = $1,120X - $23,072

1512X = $23,072

X = $15.26

Delvig [45]

Answer:

Holding period return = 14.49%, Standard Deviation = 11.08 approx

Explanation:

Eco Scenario Dividend Stock Price HPR Prob Expected HPR

Boom 3 60 26 0.33 8.58

Normal 1.2 58 18.4 0.33 6.072

Recession 0.75 49 (0.5) 0.33 <u> (0.165)</u>

Expected HPR 14.49%

<u>Calculation Of Standard Deviation</u>

(A) (B) (A) - (B)

$P_{1}$ $P_{0}$ $D_{1}$ Given return Exp return d p $p.d^{2}$

60 50 3 26 14.49 11.51 0.33 43.718

58 50 1.2 18.4 14.49 3.91 0.33 5.045

49 50 0.75 (0.5) 14.49 14.99 0.33 <u> 74.15</u>

Total $p.d^{2}$ = 122.91

wherein, d = deviation

p = probability

Standard Deviation = $\sqrt{Total\ p.d^{2} }$ = $\sqrt{122.91}$ = 11.08

<u></u>

<u>Working Note</u>:

Holding period return = $\frac{P_{1}\ -\ P_{0} \ +\ D_{1} }{P_{0} }$

Boom = $\frac{60\ -\ 50 \ +\ 3 }{50 }$ = 26%

Similarly, for normal = $\frac{58\ -\ 50 \ +\ 1.2 }{50 }$ = 18.4%

Recession = $\frac{49\ -\ 50 \ +\ 0.75 }{50}$ = (0.5)%

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Production Unit = $135,000 + $18,000 - $14,000 = $139,000

Labor hours per unit = 30 mins = 0.5 hours

Total Labor Hours = $139,000 x 0.5 = 69,500 hours

Variable Overhead 69,500 x 5 = $347,500

Total Overhead Cost = $347, 500 + $56,500 = $404,000
