You are bullish on telecom stock. the current market price is $110 per share, and you have $22,000 of your own to invest. you borrow an additional $22,000 from your broker at an interest rate of 6.6% per year and invest $44,000 in the stock.



a. what will be your rate of return if the price of telecom stock goes up by 8% during the next year? (ignore the expected dividend.)


Sagot :

Answer:

9.4%

Explanation:

Initial investment=$22,000+$22,000=$44,000

number of shares bought=$44,000/$110(the investor paid $55 out of every $110)

number of shares bought=400

Increase in share in one year=$110*8%=$8.80

loan interest on each share=$55*6.6%=$3.63

rate of return=(increase in share price-loan interest)/initial amount invested

rate of return=($8.80-$3.63)/$55

rate of return=9.4%
