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:

rE = 0.1486 or 14.86%

Explanation:

The expected rate of return of a stock is the mean return that is expected to be earned by the stock considering the different scenarios that can occur, the return in these scenarios and the probability of the occurrence of these scenarios. The formula for expected rate of return of stock is,

rE = pA * rA  +  pB * rB  +  ...  + pN * rN

Where,

  • pA, pB, ... represents the probability that scenario A, B and so on will occur or the probability of each scenario
  • rA, rB, ... represents the return in scenario A, B and so on

rE = 0.21 * 0.2  +  0.72 * 0.15  +  0.07 * -0.02

rE = 0.1486 or 14.86%
