You sell short 100 shares of company A which are currently selling at $32 per share. You post the 50% margin required on the short sale. If your broker requires a 30% maintenance margin, at what stock price will you get a margin call?
You purchased 250 shares of common stock on margin for $35 per share. The initial margin is 65% and the stock pays no dividend. Your rate of return would be how much if you sell the stock at $25 per share. Ignore interest on margin.
You sold short 233 shares of common stock at $91 per share. The initial margin is 51%. You must put up how much your own equity?

The project will last for 7 years and the machine will be depreciate using straight line method with no residual value.
This machine is expected to produce an output of 20,000 units annually with the estimated selling price of $100. Operating variable cost will be 25% of revenues, operating fixed cost is estimated to be $400,000. Additional administrative expense is about $200,000. Blue Ocean's tax rate is 30%.
a. Calculate the project's initial investment
b. Calculate the project's annual cash flows from year 1 to year 5.

2. Suppose that an individual’s demand for the number of physician visits per year, Q, can be represented by the following equation: Q = 5 – 0.04P, where P, the market price of an office visit, equals the marginal cost of $100. Determine the efficient number of office visits according to conventional theory. Now assume that the person purchases complete health insurance coverage and the demand for (but not quantity demanded of) physician care remains unchanged. How many times would this fully insured person visit the physician? Calculate the welfare loss or moral hazard cost associated with the insurance coverage.
3. Graphically and in words, explain how the analysis in question 2 might change if we adopt the conceptual framework provided by Nyman.

A marketing researcher wants to estimate the mean savings ($)
realized by shoppers who showroom. Showrooming is the practice of
inspecting products in retail stores and then purchasing the
products online at a lower price. A random sample of 100 shoppers
who recently purchased a consumer electronics item online after
making a visit to a retail store yielded a mean savings of $58 and
a standard deviation of $55.
a. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean
savings for all showroomers who purchased a consumer electronics
item.
b. Suppose the owners of a consumer electronics retailer wants to estimate the total value of lost sales attributed to the next 1,000 showroomers that enter their retail store. How are the results in (a) useful in assisting the consumer electronics retailer in their estimation?
