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?

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
