(# of shares x Price) x margin 300 x 30 = 9,000 x .50 = 4,500

31. An investor puts up $5,000 but borrows an equal amount of money from his broker to double the amount invested to $10,000. The broker charges 7% on the loan. The stock was originally purchased at $25 per share, and in 1 year the investor sells the stock for $28. The investor's rate of return was _______. A) 17% B) 12% C) 14% D) 19%

-no of shares =10000/25=400 -loan interest= 5000*7% final value=(28*400)-(5000*7%)=10850 Initial value=5000 rate of return=(final-initial)/initial =(10850-10000)/5000 =17%

26.You purchased 250 shares of common stock on margin for $25 per share. The initial margin is 65%, and the stock pays no dividend. Your rate of return would be _______ if you sell the stock at $32 per share. Ignore interest on margin. A) 35% B) 39% C) 43% D) 28%

1. Make sure for margin you subtract it (1-.65) = .35 2. Find Initial Investment # of shares x Price of Shares on margin x New Margin =250($25)(.065) = $4062.5 3.Now find initial investment Loan= # of shares x Price of Shares on margin x New Margin =250 x 25 x .35 = $2,187.50 Loan Now you are selling stock, then repaying loan Find Proceed after selling stock 4.Find Sale Price= # of shares x New Sell Price 250 x $32 = $8,000 5. Now pay loan $8,000 - $2,1875 = 5812.5 6. Now find rate of return = (Proceeds - Initial Investment) /initial investment Return = (5812.5 - 4062.50) / 4062.5 = 43.08%

40. You are considering investing in a no-load mutual fund with an annual expense ratio of 0.60% and an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.75%. You could also invest in a bank CD paying 6.50% per year. What minimum annual rate of return must the fund earn to make you better off in the fund than in the CD? A) 7.10% B) 7.45% C) 7.25% D) 7.85%

7.85 fees are expenses associated with distribution and marketing for a mutual fund. These fees, together with management fees, represent the annual expenses of managing the funds that will be deducted from gross returns. The minimum rate of return is such that the return after expense and 12b-1 fees is at least as high as the return you can earn from the CD, i.e., annual return - 0.6% - 0.75% = 6.5% (annual return)- 1.35% = 6.5% annual return = 7.85%That is, the annual return should be at least 7.85%
