You want to buy 1,000 shares of AAPL, at $115 a share.
What if you purchased those shares with maximum margin?
Your brokerage will charge interest on the amount borrowed, at call money rate.
Let’s say the rate is 8%. If AAPL goes up to $140 in one year. What is your gain in nominal terms and percentage?
What if AAPL stock gone down to $95?
margin required = 1000 shares * 115 = $115000
Interest charge = 115000*.08 = $9200
If AAPL goes $140 = Total Share Value = 140*1000 = 140000
Profit = 140000-115000-9200 = $15800
if AAPL goes to $95
Share value becomes = 95*1000
Loss = 95000 -115000-9200 = -$29200
