Answer:

A. $2,500

B. $60

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine How much in cash or securities must you put into your brokerage account if the broker's initial margin requirement is 50% of the value of the short position

Initial Margin = 100*$50*50%

Initial Margin = $2,500

Therefore The amount of securities that you must put into your brokerage account if the broker's initial margin requirement is 50% of the value of the short position is $2,500

b. Calculation to determine How high can the price of the stock go before you get a margin call if the maintenance margin is 30% of the value of the short position

First step is to calculate the Maintenance Margin per share

Maintenance Margin per share = $50*30%

Maintenance Margin per share =$15

Second step is to calculate the Rise in price required

Rise in price required = $50*50% - $15

Rise in price required= $10

Now let calculate How high can the price of the stock go

Price of stock=$50+$10

Price of stock= $60

Therefore How high can the price of the stock go before you get a margin call if the maintenance margin is 30% of the value of the short position is $60

If the current year Account Payable is higher then the previous year, this means Google didn't pay as much, so it "save" cash for that diference so the diference will be positive.

If the opposite ocours, then Google pay more than previous year, so the diference will be posted as negatinve in the cash flow statment.

Accrued Expenses for this account, when doing the comparrison, if current is higher this means Google didn't pay as much expenses as it should be, so it save cash, the diference will be posted as positive.

Resuming, compare current with previous for each account,

when current is higher then adjustment is positive (save cash)

when previous is higher then adjustment is negative(use cash)
