Old economy traders opened an account to short-sell 1,000 shares of internet dreams at $40 per share. the initial margin requirement was 50%. (the margin account pays no interest.) a year later, the price of internet dreams has risen from $40 to $50, and the stock has paid a dividend of $2 per share. a. what is the remaining margin in the account?

The remaining margin in the account is $8,000

Explanation:

The computation of the remaining margin is shown below:

= (Number of shares × price per share × rate) - (number of shares × difference in price) - (number of shares × dividend per share)

= (1,000 × $40 × 50%) - (1,000 × $10) - (1,000 × 2)

= $20,000 - $10,000 - $2,000

= $8,000

The difference of price per share is come from

= New price per share - old price per share

= $50 - $40

= $10

answer: b) the us is the leading importer but not the leading exporter.

extra info:

the u.s is the largest importer but it is not the largest exporter as china sits on the top of the table when it comes to leading exporters.

but u.s is not far from first,

they rank in 2nd globally as the worlds largest exporter.
