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

nadezda [96]

Answer: c. capital loss.

Explanation:

A capital loss refers to a scenario where the price of a security falls below the price at which it was purchased. This is what happened to the Alpha Industries stock above as the price dropped from $39 to $37 which led to a capital loss of $2.

The dividends paid seem to outweigh the capital loss but we cannot be certain of this unless we know the tax rate being applied to the dividends and because these are usually high, the after tax dividends might have been lower the capital loss of $2.
