You purchase 300 shares of HON at $89 per share on margin with 75% margin ratio (25% is financed by debt). If the price changes to $51.5 after 3 months (90 days), and the interest rate on the margin loan is 8%, what is your net percentage return on this position? Assume that your brokerage uses a 365 day convention for calculating daily interest rates, and that interest compounds daily. Enter answer in percents, positive for gains, negative for losses, accurate to 2 decimal places.
Total Value of purchase = 300 * 89 = 26700
Debt = 25%
So Debt = 26700 * 25% = 6675
Equity = 26700 - 6675 = 20025
Future value of debt = Present value*(1+(r/365))^90
Future value = 6675*(1+(8%/365))^90
= 6807.96
sale value = 300*51.5 = 15450
Net return = (sale value - repayment of debt - initial equity) / Initial Equity
= (15450 - 6807.96 - 20025) / 20,025
= -56.84%
