"In an existing margin account, a customer sells short 100 shares of ABC at $45. At the end of the day, the stock is valued at $35 per share. What is the margin requirement?"

Respuesta :

Answer:

$1,000

Explanation:

In an existing margin account, If a customer sells short 100 shares of ABC at $45, the selling price of 100 shares will be $45 × 100 = $4,500

If at the end of the day, the stock is valued at $35, then the price of the stock at the end of the day will be $35×100 = $3,500

Margin requirement = difference between the stock price and selling price.

Margin requirement = $4,500-$3,500

Margin requirement = $1,000
