23. The total cost of the purchase is: $40 500 = $20,000.
Investing $15,000 from your own funds and borrowing $5,000 from the broker,
you start the margin account with the net worth of $15,000.
a.
(i) Net worth increases to: ($44 500) – $5,000 = $17,000
Percentage gain = ($17,000 – $15,000)/$15,000 = 0.1333 = 13.33%
$15,000
b. The value of the 500 shares is 500P. Equity is (500P – $5,000). You will
receive a margin call when:
500P －$5,000
50 0 P
= 0.25 or 25%, when P = $13.33 or lower.
c. The value of the 500 shares is 500P. But now you have borrowed $10,000
instead of $5,000. Therefore, equity is (500P – $10,000). You will receive
a margin call when:
500 P － $ 10 ,000
50 0 P
= 0.25 or 25% when P = $26.67.

d. By the end of the year, the amount of the loan owed to the broker grows
to:
$5,000 (1 + 0.08) = $5,400
The equity in your account is (500P – $5,400). Initial equity was $15,000.
Therefore, the rate of return after one year is as follows:
(i)
(500 $44)－ $5,400 － $15,000
$15,000
= 0.1067 = 10.67%
(ii)
(500 $40)－ $5,400 － $15,000
$15,000
= –0.0267 = –2.67%
(iii)
(500 $36)－ $5,400 － $15,000
$15,000
= –0.1600 = –16.00%
The relationship between the percentage return and the percentage change
in the price of Intel is given by:
% return =
(
% change in price Total investment
Investor's initial equity
)
–
(
8% Funds borrowed
Investor's initial equity
)
For example, when the stock price rises from $40 to $44, the percentage
change in price is 10% (0.10), while the percentage gain for the investor
is:
(
$15 ,000
)
(
$1 5 ,000
)
e. The value of the 500 shares is 500P. Equity is (500P – $5,400). I will
receive a margin call when:
500 P －$5,400
50 0 P
= 0.25 or 25% when P = $14.40 or lower.

500 P
b. With a $1 dividend, the short position must now pay on the borrowed
shares: ($1/share 500 shares) = $500. Rate of return is now:
[(–500 P) – 500]/15,000
(i) Rate of return =[(–500 $4) – $500]/$15,000 = –0.1667 = –16.67%
(ii) Rate of return = [(–500 $0) – $500]/$15,000 = –0.0333 = –3.33%
(iii) Rate of return = [(–500) (–$4) – $500]/$15,000 = 0.1000 = 10.00%
Total assets are $35,000, and liabilities are (500P + 500). A margin call
will be issued when:
$35,000 －500 P － 500
500 P
= 0.25 or 25% when P = $55.20 or higher.
