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:
$5,360
(not given in the options)
Explanation:
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of cost to an asset based on estimates. It is given as
Depreciation = (cost - salvage value)/useful life
When originally purchased, a vehicle costing $23,040 had an estimated useful life of 8 years and an estimated salvage value of $1,600
Annual depreciation = ($23,040 - $1,600)/8
= $2,680
After 4 years
Accumulated depreciation = 4 × $2,680
= $10,720
The net book value then
= $23,040 - $10,720
= $12,320
Since the asset's total estimated useful life was revised from 8 years to 6 years and there was no change in the estimated salvage value
New depreciation = ($12,320 - $1,600)/2
= $5,360
The depreciation expense in year 5 equals $5,360
Answer:
Substitution
Explanation:
Principle of subsitution states that no consumer should buy a product for a high price of he can get an alternative (duplicate) that is of a cheaper price.
Substitutes are alternatives that provide similar satisfaction to the customer.
When the price of one product goes up the customer has a choice of going for an alternative.
For example honey and sugar are substitutes. When the price of one goes down people will go for the cheaper alternative. This acts as a price control mechanism.
