Answer: =-9.34%

Explanation:

Assuming the brokerage account pays no interest on your cash, the return, relative to the collateral will be calculated as:

= (Short sell price - dividend - Share buy price)/Capital employed

= (5433 - 100 - 5600) / 2850

= -267 / 2850

= -0.09368

=-9.34%

Note:

Short sell price = 54.33 × 100 = 5433

Dividend = 100

Share buy price = 56 × 100 = 5600
