An investor holds 400 shares of Vantage Global Energy common stock in a cash account, purchased at an initial cost basis of $75.00 per share. The company's board of directors declares a 3-for-2 forward stock split. What is the investor's adjusted cost basis per share in dollars after the split takes effect?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 50

Cevap

The adjusted cost basis per share following the 3-for-2 forward stock split is $50.00.
In a forward stock split, the total dollar value of the position remains unchanged (30,000.00).Witha3−for−2splitratio,theinvestorreceives3sharesforevery2sharespreviouslyowned,expandingtheholdingfrom400to600shares.Dividingthetotalcostof30,000.00). With a 3-for-2 split ratio, the investor receives 3 shares for every 2 shares previously owned, expanding the holding from 400 to 600 shares. Dividing the total cost of 30,000 by 600 shares yields an adjusted cost basis of $50.00 per share.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the total initial cost basis of the position prior to the split.
Total investment value = 400 shares * 75.00pershare=75.00 per share = 30,000.00.
Corporate actions such as stock splits adjust share quantity and price proportional to each other, maintaining the overall total dollar position value.
2
Calculate the post-split total share count.
New share count = 400 shares * (3 / 2) = 600 shares.
A 3-for-2 forward split increases the number of shares held by a factor of 1.5.
3
Calculate the adjusted cost basis per share.
Adjusted cost basis = 30,000.00/600shares=30,000.00 / 600 shares = 50.00 per share.
Dividing the unchanged total position value by the expanded share count provides the revised per-share cost basis for tax and reporting purposes.

Cevap: 17000

Cevap

The total minimum dollar deposit required under Federal Reserve Board Regulation T is $17,000\$17,000.
Under Federal Reserve Board (FRB) Regulation T, the initial margin requirement for eligible (marginable) equity securities is 50%50\%. However, newly issued shares from an initial public offering (IPO) are non-marginable for 3030 days following their issuance. Consequently, the investor must deposit 100%100\% of the purchase price for the IPO shares (200 shares×$50=$10,000200 \text{ shares} \times \$50 = \$10,000) plus 50%50\% of the purchase price for the marginable stock (400 shares×$35=$14,000×0.50=$7,000400 \text{ shares} \times \$35 = \$14,000 \times 0.50 = \$7,000), totaling a minimum required deposit of $17,000\$17,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine marginability and calculate deposit for the IPO stock purchase
Deposit required = $10,000\$10,000
Federal Reserve Board Regulation T prohibits extending credit on new issues (IPOs) until they have been outstanding for at least 3030 days. Thus, the investor must deposit 100%100\% of the $10,000\$10,000 purchase price (200 shares×$50200 \text{ shares} \times \$50).
2
Calculate initial margin deposit for the exchange-listed marginable equity
Deposit required = $7,000\$7,000
Standard exchange-listed common stocks are marginable securities subject to the FRB Regulation T initial margin requirement of 50%50\%. The calculation is 50%×(400 shares×$35)=50%×$14,000=$7,00050\% \times (400 \text{ shares} \times \$35) = 50\% \times \$14,000 = \$7,000.
3
Sum the total required Regulation T margin deposits
Total deposit = $17,000\$17,000
Combining the 100%100\% cash requirement for the non-marginable IPO shares ($10,000\$10,000) and the 50%50\% margin requirement for the marginable equity ($7,000\$7,000) yields a total required deposit of $17,000\$17,000.

Cevap: 157.5

Cevap

The total dollar amount of the quarterly cash dividend received by the investor is $157.50.
To determine the total cash dividend, the share count must be adjusted chronologically for each corporate action. First, the 5% stock dividend increases the original 400 shares to 420 shares (400 * 1.05). Second, the 3-for-2 forward stock split increases the share count from 420 to 630 shares (420 * 1.5). Finally, multiplying the 630 post-split shares by the 0.25cashdividendpershareresultsinatotalcashdividendof0.25 cash dividend per share results in a total cash dividend of 157.50.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the share position following the 5% stock dividend.
400 shares * 1.05 = 420 shares.
A 5% stock dividend increases the investor's total share count by 5%.
2
Calculate the share position following the 3-for-2 forward stock split.
420 shares * (3 / 2) = 630 shares.
A 3-for-2 stock split multiplies the existing share position by a factor of 1.5.
3
Calculate the total quarterly cash dividend payout.
630 shares * 0.25pershare=0.25 per share = 157.50.
Cash dividends declared after corporate actions apply to the fully adjusted post-split share position.

An investor holds a long margin account with a long market value of 18,00018,000 and a debit balance of 7,0007,000. The market value of the securities in the account subsequently increases to 24,00024,000. Assuming no other transactions occur and market prices remain unchanged thereafter, what is the maximum dollar amount of additional marginable securities the investor can purchase on margin without depositing additional funds?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 10000

Cevap

The maximum dollar amount of additional marginable securities the investor can purchase without depositing additional funds is $10,000.
When the long market value increases from 18,00018,000 to 24,00024,000, current account equity increases to 17,00017,000 (24,00024,000 long market value minus 7,0007,000 debit balance). Under Federal Reserve Regulation T, the required equity is 50% of the current market value, or 12,00012,000 (50%×24,00050\% \times 24,000). The difference between current equity (17,00017,000) and required equity (12,00012,000) creates 5,0005,000 of excess equity, which is credited to the account's Special Memorandum Account (SMA). Because additional marginable stock can be purchased by depositing 50% of the transaction value, buying power is equal to twice the available SMA balance (2×5,000=10,0002 \times 5,000 = 10,000).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the current equity in the account following market appreciation
Equity = 17,00017,000
Equity equals current Long Market Value (24,00024,000) minus Debit Balance (7,0007,000).
2
Calculate the Regulation T required equity for the current market value
Required Equity = 12,00012,000
Federal Reserve Regulation T requires 50% equity of the current long market value (50%×24,000=12,00050\% \times 24,000 = 12,000).
3
Determine the excess equity / Special Memorandum Account (SMA) balance
SMA = 5,0005,000
Excess equity is current equity (17,00017,000) minus required equity (12,00012,000).
4
Calculate margin buying power from available SMA
Buying Power = 10,00010,000
Buying power allows purchasing securities at a 50% margin requirement, which is equal to SMA divided by 0.50 (or 2×2 \times SMA).

Cevap: 2500

Cevap

The minimum required initial margin deposit is $2500.
Under Federal Reserve Regulation T, the standard initial deposit requirement for purchasing stock in a margin account is 50% of the total purchase amount. For a transaction of 100 shares at 50pershare(50 per share ( 5,000 total market value), the required initial deposit is 50% of 5,000,whichequals5,000, which equals 2,500. This amount satisfies both Regulation T and FINRA's minimum initial equity requirement of $2,000.

An investor owns 500500 shares of Apex Innovations common stock currently trading at $90.00\$90.00 per share. The company executes a 33-for-22 forward stock split. What is the adjusted price per share of Apex Innovations stock immediately following the split?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 60

Cevap

The adjusted price per share immediately following the 3-for-2 stock split is $60.00.
In a forward stock split corporate action, the investor's aggregate position value remains unchanged before and after the event. For a 3-for-2 split, the split ratio multiplier is 1.5 (3/23 / 2). Dividing the pre-split price of $90.00\$90.00 by 1.5 yields an adjusted price per share of $60.00\$60.00. Correspondingly, the share count increases from 500 shares to 750 shares (500×1.5=750500 \times 1.5 = 750), maintaining total investor equity value of $45,000\$45,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the split multiplier factor ratio.
The split factor for a 3-for-2 split is 3/2=1.53 / 2 = 1.5.
Stock splits adjust share price and share quantity proportionally based on the split ratio while preserving the total equity value of the holding.
2
Calculate the post-split position size.
500 shares ×\times 1.5 = 750 shares.
In a forward split, the investor receives additional shares equal to the split factor ratio.
3
Calculate the adjusted post-split price per share.
$90.00/1.5=$60.00\$90.00 / 1.5 = \$60.00.
The market price per share must decrease proportionally so that the overall investment value remains unchanged at $45,000\$45,000 (750 shares×$60.00=$45,000750 \text{ shares} \times \$60.00 = \$45,000).

An investor holds 1,4501,450 shares of Meridian Tech common stock in a cash account. The board of directors declares a 11-for-44 reverse stock split, immediately followed by a cash dividend of $0.80\$0.80 per share payable on all post-split shares. Under the corporate action terms, any fractional shares resulting from the reverse split are liquidated for cash based on the pre-split market price of $16.00\$16.00 per share. Assuming the investor holds all shares through the record date, what is the total dollar amount of cash (including the fractional share liquidation payout and the cash dividend) that the investor will receive?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 321.6

Cevap

The total dollar amount of cash received by the investor is $321.60.
The reverse stock split reduces 1,450 shares by a factor of 4 to 362.5 shares. The investor receives 362 whole post-split shares and cash in lieu of the remaining 0.5 post-split share. Because 1 post-split share equals 4 pre-split shares, 0.5 post-split share corresponds to 2 pre-split shares, valued at 2 x 16.00=16.00 = 32.00. The cash dividend of 0.80pershareappliestothe362wholepost−splitshares,yielding362x0.80 per share applies to the 362 whole post-split shares, yielding 362 x 0.80 = 289.60.Addingthetwopayoutstogethergives289.60. Adding the two payouts together gives 32.00 + 289.60=289.60 = 321.60.
