Answer:

Pension Expense = EBE = $593440 for income statement

Explanation:

The opening balance of the Plan asset is made by the 40000 from 2018 plus interest of 32000 and the new 400000 made this year. Why include it? Because an opening balance are the funds in an account at the beginning of the year either from last year or are from current year but should be the first entry in the books of the current year.

You are bearish on Telecom and decide to sell short 100 shares at the current market price of $50 per share.
Elden [556K]

Answer:

A. $2,500

B. $60

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine How much in cash or securities must you put into your brokerage account if the broker's initial margin requirement is 50% of the value of the short position

Initial Margin = 100*$50*50%

Initial Margin = $2,500

Therefore The amount of securities that you must put into your brokerage account if the broker's initial margin requirement is 50% of the value of the short position is $2,500

b. Calculation to determine How high can the price of the stock go before you get a margin call if the maintenance margin is 30% of the value of the short position

First step is to calculate the Maintenance Margin per share

Maintenance Margin per share = $50*30%

Maintenance Margin per share =$15

Second step is to calculate the Rise in price required

Rise in price required = $50*50% - $15

Rise in price required= $10

Now let calculate How high can the price of the stock go

Price of stock=$50+$10

Price of stock= $60

Therefore How high can the price of the stock go before you get a margin call if the maintenance margin is 30% of the value of the short position is $60
