If Nathan sells now, after paying a commission of $160 and margin account interest of $90, he will lose <u>$650</u>.

<h3>What is buying on margin?</h3>

Buying on margin is a situation when an investor buys an asset by <u>borrowing the balance </u>from the brokerage firm.

With buying on margin, the investor pays part of the investment cost while the remaining is met by the broker.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Cost of 200 shares at $40 per share = $8,000

Investor's cash = $5,000

Margin purchase = $3,000

Interest rate = 6%

Interest amount = $90 ($3,000 x 6% x 1/2)

Commission = $160

Total amount spent = $8,250 ($8,000 + $90 + $160)

Total amount realized from sale = $7,600 ($38 x 200)

Loss from sale = $650 ($7,600 - $8,250)

Thus, if Nathan sells now, after paying a commission of $160 and margin account interest of $90, he will lose <u>$650</u>.

Suppose that in some state the civilian, non-institutionalized adult population is 4 million, the labor force participation rate
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

8.33%

Explanation:

The computation of the unemployment rate is shown below;

Before computing it, first we have to determine the labor force which is

As we know that

Labor force participation rate = Labor force ÷ Total non-institutionalized adult population

75% = Labor force ÷ 4,000,000

So, the labor force is

= 4,0000,000 × 0.75

= 3,000,000

Now unemployment rate is

= Unemployed people ÷ Labor force

= 250,000 ÷ 3,000,000

= 8.33%

Aleks [24]

Answer:

10% of exam score

Explanation:

Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative, foregone (sacrifised)  while making a choice.

Example : If a person has option to have an apple or an orange, & choses to have apple. The opportunity cost of having an apple is the sacrifised orange.

Lisa's opportunity cost rate is 10 percent compounded annually. how much must she deposit in an account today if she wants to re
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The answer would be, $21,760

Explanation:

The formula to be used is  that of calculating the present value (PV) of the payment in the ordinary annuity (PMT). PMT are done annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly.

PV = PMT * ((1-(1/ (1+r) n))/r)

Where PV is the present value; PMT is the payment in an ordinary annuity; r is the opportunity cost rate; n is the number of years  

in this case, PV= 3,200; r=10%, and n=12

To get PV, substitute the values given above and compute as shown below:

PV  = 3,200*((1-(1/(1+0.10)12))/0.10)

PV= $21,760

With an opportunity cost of 10% compounded annually, Lisa will have to deposit $21,760 today if she wants to be receiving $3,200 at the end of each year for the next 12 years.
