adoni [48]

Answer with complete Question:

Barbara buys 130 shares of DEM at $33.00 a share and 190 shares of GOP at $37.00 a share. She buys on margin and the broker charges interest of 7 percent on the loan.

a. If the margin requirement is 42 percent, what is the maximum amount she can borrow? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

$ 6,565.60

(Which is equal to 58(100 - 42)% of $11,320.)

b. If she buys the stocks using the borrowed money and holds the securities for a year, how much interest must she pay? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

$ 459.59 ($6,565.60 x 7%)

If after a year she sells DEM for $22.00 a share and GOP for $30.00 a share, how much did she lose on her investment? Use a minus sign to enter the amount as a negative value. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

$ 2,760

What is the percentage loss on the funds she invested if the interest payment is included in the calculation? Use a minus sign to enter the amount as a negative value. Round your answer to two decimal places.

28.44 %

Explanation:

a. Data and Calculations:

DEM, 130 shares at $33.00 a share = $4,290

GOP, 190 shares at $37.00 a share = 7,030

Total value of investments = $11,320

Margin requirement = 42% of $11.320 = $4,754.40

Barbara can borrow $6,565.60 ($11,320 - $4,754.40)

1. Interest on borrowed fund (margin):

$6,565.60 x 7% = $459.59

2. Loss from Sale of:

DEM, 130 shares at $22.00 a share = $1,430 ($11 x 130)

GOP, 190 shares at $30.00 a share = $1,330 ($7 x 190)

Total loss from investments = $2,760

3. Percentage Loss, with interest included:

Interest on borrowed fund = $6,565.60 x 7% = $459.59

Total loss from investments = $2,760.00

Total loss = $3,219.59

Total value of investments = $11,320

Percentage Loss = $3,219.59/$11,320 * 100 = 28.44%
