Answer:

Px = \frac{[(N*P) +(N*P*M1]/N}{1+ M2}

And if we replace we have this:

Px =\frac{[(500*41) +(500*41*0.6]/500}{1+ 0.4}

Px= 46.857 \ approx 46.86

So then the highest the stock price can go before you receive a margin call if the maintenance margin is 40 percent is $ 46.86.

See explanation below.

Explanation:

For this case we define the following notation:

N= 500 represent the number of stocks for JAsper

P = 41 represent the stock price

M1 = 60% = 0.6 represent the initial margin

Px represent the highest stock price the variable of interest for this case

M2= 40% or 0.4 represent the mainteneance margin

We can find the value of Px with the following formula on this case:

Px = \frac{[(N*P) +(N*P*M1]/N}{1+ M2}

And if we replace we have this:

Px =\frac{[(500*41) +(500*41*0.6]/500}{1+ 0.4}

Px= 46.857 \ approx 46.86

So then the highest the stock price can go before you receive a margin call if the maintenance margin is 40 percent is $ 46.86.

svlad2 [7]

 

<span>One firm that is historically low and deals with negatively correlated stock markets is Gold Extraction Companies. They are have very low correction with overall stock markets. The basic reason for this low correlation is that, as the stock market become bearish, investor sentiment becomes weak, due to which most of the investors withdraw their money from stock market. Now once investor has withdrawn the money from stock market , they search on safe investments which will provide them good reruns, Gold is one of the investment which is relatively safe and provide high returns. Thus withdrawn money from the share market is invested in gold by investors. Thus Gold prices and companies related to extraction of gold have very less correlation to the gold.</span>

The table shows the predicted cost of attending an in-state four-year public college 4 years from now. Category Predicted Annual
astraxan [27]
<span>To find the cost of going to this college in four years, sum all the values given (9350 + 8630 + 1650 + 2140 + 1110), which gives $22,880 for attending. Subtracting 4500 for grants and 8630 for not having to live on-campus gives a value of $9750 required. Dividing this value by 48 months (the time left before he begins attending) gives an approximate value of $203.13 needed to be saved per month without any interest being added. To make sure that Caleb has enough if the $3.13 per month isn't made up by interest down the line, $300 should be saved each month.</span>

Why an investor might choose to have less than 20% holding in a company if they could have more?
gtnhenbr [62]
<span>The simple answer here is you never want to over commit any part of your portfolio. Every single successful investor has a wide variety of investment holdings. This is known as diversification. If you place all of your "eggs in one basket," so to speak, if that investment were to play against you, your losses may be much higher than anticipated or often irrecoverable. With a diverse portfolio, when one small portion of your investment strategy fails, you can count on other, more successful aspect to make up the difference.</span>

Nastasia [14]

Answer: Jordan's recognized gain in the year of sale is $2500.

Explanation:

Given that,

Jordan inherited 10 shares of universal corp. stock upon her grandfather's death and have a fair market value of $5000

Jordan's grandfather purchase these shares in 1995 for $2500

After four months of her grandfather's death, Jordan sold all of the shares for $7500

Jordan's recognized gain in the year of sale = the value of sale - the fair market value at the time of her grandfather's death

= $7500 - $5000

= $2500
