You sell short 200 shares of Doggie Treats Inc. that are currently selling at $25 per share. You post the 50% margin required on the short sale. If your broker requires a 30% maintenance margin, at what stock price will you get a margin call?

Answer:

$ 28.85

Explanation:

Total amount = (200 × $ 25) + ( 200 × $25 × 0.5) = $ 7500

Maintenance margin = (total amount - ( number of shares × price)) / number of share × price

0.3 = (7500 - 200 p) / 200 p

0.3 × 200 p = 7500 - 200 p

60 p + 200 p = 7500

260 p = 7500

p = $ 28.85
