Problem# 05
You own 200 shares of Shamrock Enterprises that you bought at $25 a share.
The stock is now selling for $45 a share. a. You put in a stop loss order at $40.
Discuss your reasoning for this action. b. If the stock eventually declines in price
to $30 a share, what would be your rate of return with and without the stop loss
order?
Requirement (a)
I am satisfied with the profit resulting from the sale of the 200 shares at $40.

Requirement (b)
With the stop loss:
= ($40 - $25)/$25
= 60%
Without the stop loss:
= ($30 - $25)/$25
= 20%

Problem# 06
Two years ago, you bought 300 shares of Kayleigh Milk Co. for $30 a share with
a margin of 60 percent. Currently, the Kayleigh stock is selling for $45 a share.
Assuming no dividends and ignoring commissions, compute (a) the annualized
rate of return on this investment if you had paid cash, and (b) your rate of
return with the margin purchase.
Requirement (a)
Assuming that you pay cash for the stock:
 ( $ 45 ×300 )−($ 30× 300)
=
( $ 30 ×300)
13500−9000
= 9000
=50%

Requirement (b)
Assuming that you used the maximum leverage in buying the stock,
the leverage factor for a 60 percent margin requirement is = 1/margin requirement
= 1/.60
= 1.67
Thus, the rate of return on the stock if it is later sold at $45 a share = 50% x 1.67
= 83.33%.
