单项选择题
An analyst does research about margin transaction. An investor purchases a stock priced at $80 by borrowing the maximum amount under a 65% initial margin requirement. If the maintenance margin requirement is 30% the security price below which the investor will first receive a margin call is closest to:()
A. $37
B. $40
C. $52
答案
参考答案:B
解析:
需要追加保证金时股价的公式为:margin call price=P0×(1-initial margin)/(1-maintenance margin),且P0=initial purchase price。
因此,需要追加保证金时的股价=$80×(1-65%)/(1-30%)=$40。
