Answer:

Explanation:

A. total value of purchase = 700*35 = 35,000

broker loan = 35,000-28,000 = 7,000

your contribution = 28,000

interest = 7% * 7000 = 490

a) % increase = (56-50)*700/28000 = 15%

b) % increase = 0%; price is same

c)% increase = (44-50)*700/28,000 = -15.00%

B.

80% = 7,000

20% = 7,000*20/80 = 1,750

reduction in value = 28,000 - 1,750 = 26,250

reduction in price per share = 26,250/700 = 37.5

price for margin call = 50 - 37.5 = 12.5

C broker contribution = 10,500

80% = 10,500

20% = 10,500*20/80 = 2,625

loss allowed per share = (17,500 - 2,625)/700 = 20.54

price for margin call = 50 - 20.54 = 29.46

Answer:

Explanation: The total cost of the purchase is: $50 X 700 = $35,000.

$7,000 is borrowed from the broker.

A. (a) Percentage increase when price changes to ($56 x 700) - $7,000 = $39,200 - $7,000 = $32,200

Percentage gain = ($32,200 - $28,000)/$28,000 = $4,200/$28,000 = 0.15 = 15%.

(b) Percentage increase when the price remains the same = 0.

(c) Percentage increase when the price falls to ($44 x 700) - $7,000 = $30,800 - $7,000 = $23,800.

Percentage gain = ($23,800 - $28,000)/$28,000 = -$4,200/$28,000 = -0.15 =-15%.

B. The value of 700 shares is 700P, where P is price. Equity is (700P - $7,000). Margin call will be received when:

(700P - $7,000)/700P = 0.80 = 80%

20% = (7,000 x 20)/80 = $1,750

Reduction in value = $28,000 - $1,750

$26,250

Reduction in price per share:

$26,250/700 = $37.5

Margin call = $50 - $37.5 = $12.5 or lower.

C. Contribution of broker = $10,500

80% = $10,500

20% = ($10,500 x 20)/80 = $2,625

Loss allowed per share = ($17,500 - $2,625)/700 = $20.54

Margin call = 50 - 20.54 = $29.46 or lower.

D. Since the margin loan is 7%, by the end of the year the amount owed to the broker grows to:

$7,000 x 1.07 = $7,490

(i) Rate of return after one year at $56

(700 x 56) - 7,490 - 28,000/28,000 = 3,710/28,000 = 0.1325 = 13.25%.

(ii) Rate of return after one year at $50

(700 x 50) - 7,490 - 28,000/28,000 = -490/28,000 = -0.0175 = -1.75%.

(iii) Rate of return after one year at $44

(700 x 44) - 7,490 - 28,000/28,000 = -4,690/28,000 = -0.1675 = -16.75%.

E. 80% = $7,300

20% = $7,300 x 20/80 = $1,825

Reduction in value = $28,000 - $1,825 = $26,175

Reduction in price per share = $26,175/700 = $37.39

Margin call = $50 - $37.39 = $12.61 or lower.

IrinaK [193]

Answer: E) A's expected dividend is $0.75 and B's expected dividend is $1.20

Explanation:

Using the Gordon growth model, you can calculate the expected dividend. The formula is:

Price = Expected dividend/ (expected return - expected growth)

Stock A expected dividend

25 = D/ (10% - 7%)

D = 25 * 3%

= $0.75

Stock B expected divided

40 = D / (12% - 9%)

D = 40 * 3%

= $1.20

Option A, C and B are therefore wrong.

Option E is correct.

diamong [38]

Answer:

hope this helps

Assume that you hold a well-diversified portfolio that has an expected return of 11.0% and a beta of 1.20. You are in the process of buying 1,000 shares of Alpha Corp at $10 a share and adding it to your portfolio. Alpha has an expected return of 21.5% and a beta of 1.70. The total value of your current portfolio is $90,000. What will the expected return and beta on the portfolio be after the purchase of the Alpha stock? Do not round your intermediate calculations.

Old portfolio return

11.0%

Old portfolio beta

1.20

New stock return

21.5%

New stock beta

1.70

% of portfolio in new stock = $ in New / ($ in old + $ in new) = $10,000/$100,000=

10%

New expected portfolio return = rp = 0.1 × 21.5% + 0.9 × 11% =

12.05%​

New expected portfolio beta = bp = 0.1 × 1.70 + 0.9 × 1.20 =

1.25​
