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:
The answer is $862.35
Explanation:
Explanation:
This is a semiannual paying coupon, meaning interest are paid twice in year.
N(Number of periods) = 30periods ( 15 years x 2)
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = 6 percent
PV(present value or market price) = ?
PMT( coupon payment) = $50
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 30; I/Y = 6; PMT = 50; FV= $1,000; CPT PV= -862.35
Therefore, the market price of the bond is $862.35.

In a recession, firms go out of businesses and people don't spend much. There will be less tax on goods and firms' profits. On the other hand, more people become unemployed  and become entitled to receiving transfer payments.
