Dee Trader opens a brokerage account and purchases 300 shares of Internet Dreams at $40 per share. She borrows$4,000from her bro
levacccp [35]

Answer:

A. The stock is purchased for $40 x 300 shares = $12,000.

Given that the amount borrowed from the broker is $4,000, Dee's margin is the initial purchase price net borrowing: $12,000 - $4,000 = $8,000.

B. If the share price falls to $30, then the value of the stock falls to $9,000. By the end of the year, the amount of the loan owed to the broker grows to:

Principal x (1 + Interest rate) = $4,000 x (1 + 0.08) = $4,320.

The value of the stock falls to: $30 x 300 shares = $9,000.

The remaining margin in the investor's account is:

Margin on long position = "Equity in account " /"Value of stock"

= "$9,000 - $4,320" /"$9,000" = 0.52 = 52%

Therefore, the investor will not receive a margin call.

C. Rate of return = "Ending equity in account - Initial equity in account" /"Initial equity in account"

= "$4,680 - $8,000" /"$8,000" = - 0.4150 = - 41.50%

The following data pertains to activity and maintenance costs for two recent years:
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Y= 6000 + 0.75X

Explanation:

High and low cost technique

Using the a high and low technique, total cost can be analysed and separated into fixed and variable portion. This analysis helps in the forecast of cost and therefore important for the preparation of budget.

<em>Variable cost of maintenance</em>

= (Cost at high activity - Cost at low activity)/ (high activity - low activity)

VC per act. = ( $15000 - $12000)/(12,000-8000)

                   = $0.75 per activity

<em>Fixed cost of maintenance</em>

= Total cost at high activity - (VC per act × high activity)

=  $15,000 - ( $0.75 ×  12,000)

=   $6,000

The cost formula will be:

Y= 6000 + 0.75X

Where Y = maintenance cost, X= level of activity

Suppose the United States is currently producing 200 tons of hamburgers and 60 tons of tacos and Mexico is currently producing 4
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

United States is producing 200 tons of hamburgers and 60 tons of tacos.

United States' opportunity cost for producing 1 ton of hamburgers

= \frac{60}{200}

= 0.3

United States' opportunity cost for producing 60 tons of tacos.

= \frac{200}{60}

= 3.33

So we see that US has a lower opportunity cost in producing hamburgers, so it has a comparative advantage in producing hamburgers.

Mexico is producing 40 tons of hamburgers and 50 tons of tacos.

Mexico's opportunity cost of producing a ton of hamburgers

= \frac{50}{40}

= 1.25

Mexico's opportunity cost of producing a ton of tacos

= \frac{40}{50}

= 0.8

So we see that Mexico has a lower opportunity cost in producing tacos, so it has a comparative advantage in making tacos.

Since US specializes in making hamburgers, it will produce 200 tons of hamburgers and 0 tons of tacos.

Mexico specializes in making tacos, it will produce 50 tons of tacos and 0 tons of hamburgers.
