At 3:1, the number of shares goes up by a factor of 3 and the price goes down by a factor of one-third (i.e., to one-third of its previous value). The rule is that the total value of the position must remain unchanged before and after the adjustment. In this case, the original position's value was 300 shares × $45, or $13,500. The new position is valued at 900 × $15, which is also $13,500. LO 2.h

C)31. Explanation This is a sell stop order with a limit of 30. Once the stock trades at 30 or lower, the order is elected (triggered) and becomes a live working order. This occurs at 29. The order will then be executed at its limit (30) or better. This occurs at 31. LO 1.g
Question #32 of 50Question ID: 1465095 An investor enters a sell stop limit order at 60. Following the order entry, trades occur at 62, 60, 59, 61, and 63. The investor will most likely receive A)60. B)59. C)61. D)63.
C)61. Explanation This is really two orders. The first is to stop at 60. That is, once the stock trades at 60 or lower, the order is elected (triggered) and becomes a live working order. That order is to sell at 60 or better. Therefore, the first time the stock hits 60 (or less), is the trade at 60. That triggers the sell limit order to sell at 60 or better. The next trade is at 59 and that is not an acceptable price given the limit order set at 60. The following price, however, at 61, is the next acceptable price after the order is triggered and that is where the order would most likely be executed. LO 1.g
