So here we are talking about margin in the stock market.
00:03
So we have $16 ,000, right? and we are told this 60 % initial margin.
00:09
So 60 % initial margin, what does that mean, right? that initial margin means that is equal to the cash you put up, right? it's the cash you bring to the table.
00:22
And so that would be $9 ,600.
00:25
The other rest of the cash must be 40%, and that's via the margin law, you are borrowing that from the bank.
00:33
So that is going to be $6 ,400.
00:38
So you are putting up 9 ,600 % of your own money and borrowing $6 ,400.
00:43
So this here is the base of the investment.
00:46
And so our rate of return is going to be related to that.
00:49
Now, the interest is 8%, right? and we assume that it's 8 % for one year.
00:57
So we have 8 % times 6 ,400 is equal to something, right? and i will put that in my calculator and i will get interest of $512, right? so that's the interest that's being paid, but there's also a dividend, right? the dividend is $50, sorry, 50 cents per share.
01:21
Well, how many shares do we have? the number of shares is equal to 16 ,000 over 20, right? we are getting 800 shares...
