Given,
Number of shares purchased is 250.
Price per share is $40
Margin is 505.
Formula to calculate total cost,
Substitute 250 as number of shares and $40 for price per share.
The total cost is $10,000.
Formula to calculate the amount borrowed,
Substitute $10,000 for total cost and 50% for margin.
Hence, the amount borrowed is $5,000.
Formula to calculate contribution,
Substitute $10,000 for total cost and $5,000 for amount borrowed.
Hence, the contribution is $5,000.
Price of stock increased to $50.
Formula to calculate total cost,
Substitute 250 as number of shares and $50 for price per share.
The total cost is $12,500.
