Answer #1

Price per share = $100

Margin requirement = 70%

Hence, Amount borrowed per share = Price per share * (1 - Margin Requirement) = 100(1-0.30) = $30

Maintenance Margin = 50%

Maximum allowable percentage of borrowed funds = 1 - Maintenance Margin = 1 - 0.50 = 0.50

Maintenance Margin = Amount borrowed per share / maximum allowable percentage of borrowed funds = 30/0.50 = $60

Hence, Jerri faces a margin call if the stock price drops to $60
