Answer:
a) 8,000
b) Yes
c) -60%
Explanation:
a) 8,000
b) Yes
c) -60%
) 8,000
a.the trader puts up=20000(1000*50%*40)
he lost $10000(1000*$10)
if he trader pays $2000 in dividend
the remaining margin=20000-10000-2000
$8000
b.) margin rate=equity /liability
8000/50000*100%=
16% , so we have a margin call
c.Equity decreases from 20000 to 8000 in 1 year
return= -12000/20000=-0.60
=-60%
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
57.07 months. 
Joseph must decide whether the 57th payment was $1,327, or he can pay a 58th payment of just $92.
Explanation:
The easiest way to calculate a monthly payment is using a payment calculator:
- principal = 59,000
- n = 60
- APR = 7.6%
Monthly payments = $1,185.04
Since Joseph will pay an extra $50 each month, his payment = $1,235.04
By paying that extra amount Joseph will reduce his payments by almost 3 months to 57.07 months
After the 57th payment, Joseph' balance = $91.43, so he can decide to pay a little on the 57th payment or just pay $92 next month.

Where:
 is the number of years the investment is compounded,
 is the number of years the investment is compounded,
 is the annual interest rate,
 is the annual interest rate,
 is the principal investment.
 is the principal investment.
We know the following:

And we want to clear the value <em>n</em> from the equation.
The problem can be resolved as follows.
<u>First step:</u> divide each member of the equation by  :
:


<u>Second step:</u> apply logarithms to both members of the equation:

<u>Third step:</u> apply the logarithmic property  in the second member of the equation:
 in the second member of the equation:

Fourth step: divide both members of the equation by 


We can round up the number and conclude that it will take 16 years for $10,000 invested today in bonds that pay 6% interest compounded annually, to grow to $25,000.
