Answer:

a. $5,175

b. $517.5

c. $2,200

d. 23.63%

Explanation:

a. If the margin requirement is 55% then the maximum Barbara can borrow is 45%

(100 * $35) + (200 * $40) * 45/100

$11,500 * 45/100

$5,175

b. If she buys stocks using the borrowed money she will have to pay interest on the amount borrowed that is $5,175. Interest rate is 10%

$5,175 * 10%

= $517.5

c. If she sell DEM for $29 and GOP for $32 she will lose

(100 * ($35 - $29) + (200 * ($40 - $32)

(100 * ($6) + (200 * ($8)

$600 + $1600

= $2,200

d. The total loss and interest is

$2,200 + $517.5

= $2,717.5

Total investment was $11,500

Loss percentage = total loss / Total investment

= $2,717.5 / $11,500 * 100

= 23.63%

jekas [21]

Answer:

Glucose Control Company

a.  The value of total equity would be $58,000 on December 31, 2016.

b. The value of total equity would be $101,000 on December 31, 2016.

c. The value of total equity would be $144,000 on December 31, 2016.

d. The value of total equity would be $101,000 on December 31, 2016.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

GLUCOSE CONTROL COMPANY

Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015:

Assets                                          Liabilities and Equity

Cash                              8,000     Accounts payable        16,000

Marketable securities  2,000     Notes payable               6,000

Accounts receivable    6,000     Current liabilities        22,000

Inventory                    45,000     Long term debt          95,000

Current assets           61,000     Total liabilities             117,000

Machines                   34,000     Paid in capital             20,000

Real estate              800,000     Retained earnings     38,000

Fixed assets              114,000     Equity                         58,000

Total assets              175,000    Total liab. & equity    175,000

Annual net income for 2016 = $86,000

Scenario A:

Total assets = 261,000 - 86,000 = 175,000

Total liabilities 117,000

Total equity =  144,000 - 86,000 = 58,000

Scenario B:

Total assets = 261,000 - 43,000 = 218,000

Total liabilities 117,000

Total equity =  144,000 - 43,000 = 101,000

Scenario C:

Total assets = 261,000 - 86,000 = 175,000

Total liabilities 117,000 - 86,000 = 31,000

Total equity =  144,000

Scenario D:

Total assets = 261,000 - 43,000 - 2,000 = 216,000

Total liabilities 117,000 - 2,000 = 115,000

Total equity =  144,000 - 43,000 = 101,000

b) The effect of dividend payment on equity is that cash dividends reduce the total equity just as cash is diminished.  But when it retains its net income without paying dividends, the total equity is increased just as its assets are bolstered.
