a) Total Amount Invested = Own Money + Borrowed = Own Money/Initial Margin Requirement = 1000/50% =$2000
b) Return on Invested Money = Return/Initial Margin Requirement = 8/50% = 16%
c) Return = [Return for 1 year in $ - Interest on Margin Loan]/Invested Money = [(2000*16%)-(1000*5%)]/1000 = [320-50]/1000 = 270/1000 = 27%
d)
Margin Call will be triggered when Value of Investment falls below [Margin Loan/(1-Maintenance Margin)] = 1000/(1-0.3) = $1428.57
Therefore, Margin Call will be triggered when Price falls below [Above Value of Investment/Qty] = 1428.57/(2000/10) = 1428.57/200 = $7.1428 i.e. $7.15 is the Lowest Price. At $7.14, Margin Call will occur
