vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

a) 0.1728

b) 0.09183

c) 0.7354

d) $ 222.25

Explanation:

Given

mean = $\mu$ = $367

Standard deviation = $\sigma$ =$88

Cost of automobile repair is normally distributed.

a) We have to find P( x > 450 )

P( x > 450 ) = 1 - P( x <= 450 )

Using excel function, P( x <= x ) = NORMDIST (x, $\mu$ , $\sigma$ , 1 )

P( x > 450 ) = 1 - NORMDIST( 450 , 367, 88, 1 )

= 1 - 0.8272 = 0.1728

P( x > 450 ) = 0.1728

b) P( x < 250 ) = NORMDIST( 250 , 367, 88, 1 ) = 0.09183

P( x < 250 ) = 0.09183

c) P( 250 < x < 450 ) = P( x <450 ) - P( x < 250 )

P( x <450 ) = NORMDIST( 450 , 367, 88, 1 ) = 0.8272

P( x < 250 ) = NORMDIST( 250 , 367, 88, 1 ) = 0.09183

P( 250 < x < 450 ) = 0.8272 - 0.09183 = 0.7354

P( 250 < x < 450 ) = 0.7354

d) We have P( X < a ) = 0.05

We have to find a.

Using Excel, = NORMINV ( Probability, $\mu$ , $\sigma$ )

a = NORMINV ( 0.05 , 367, 88 ) = 222.2529

Cost = $ 222.25

You’ve borrowed $23,072 on margin to buy shares in Ixnay, which is now selling at $41.2 per share. You invest 1,120 shares. Your

BlackZzzverrR [31]

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
