问题如下:
You decide to sell short 100 shares of Charlotte Horse Farms when it is selling at its yearly high of 56. Your broker tells you that your margin requirement is 45% and that the commission on the purchase is $155. While you are short the stock, Charlotte pays a $2.50 per share dividend. At the end of one year, you buy 100 shares of Charlotte at 45 to close out your position and are charged a commission of $145. What is your rate of return on the investment?
选项:
A. 20.56%
22.65%
18.56%
解释:
Profit on a short sale = Begin value — Ending value — Dividends( Interest)— Trans. costs
ü Beginning value of investment = $56.00 x 100 =$5,600 (Sold under a short sale arrangement)
ü Ending value of investment = $45.00 x 100=$4,500
ü Transaction costs= $155 + $145 =$300.00
ü Dividends = $2.50 x 100 shares =$250.00
ü Profit= $5,600 — $4,500 — $250 — $300= $550.00
Ø Initial investment = Margin requirement + Commission = (0.45 x $5,600) + $155= $2,520 + $155= $2,675
The rate of return on your investment is 20.56%=$550.00 / $2,675
如果是卖空,为什么投资者自己需要出一部分自有资金?意思是说0时点借来股票卖出的时候,投资者自己要买一部分吗?
另外dividend为什么是全额扣除的呢。如果是上面这样理解,那45%的股票现在所有权在投资者自己这,他能拿到dividend,还给lender之后投资者自己没有损失。
不知道上面这样理解有没有问题。请老师帮看一下,谢谢!
