Dée Trader opens a brokerage account and purchases 300 shares of Internet Dreams at $40 per share. She borrows $4,000 from her broker to help pay for the purchase.
The stock price drops to $38 per share after Dee's perchase. Assume Dee doesn't pay interest on the loan.
What is Dee's equity after the price change?
What is Dee's margin after the price change? (Keep two decimal places.)
A) invested amount is = 300*40 = 12000
B) borrowed funds = 4000
C) margin in dee account (A-B) = 8000
1) dee in invested 8000 of own money and 4000 borrowed money
2) dee initial margin = margin/invested value = 8000/12000 = 66.67%
Now price has dropped to 38$
Equity after price change = investment value - borrowed money
= 38*300 -4000 = 7400
dee margin after price change = equity/investment value
= 7400/11400 = 64.91%
