C. $19.71.
2.Currently, the market in a stock is “$54.62 bid, offered at $54.71.” A new sell limit order is placed at $54.62. This limit order is said to:
A. take the market.
B. make the market.
C. make a new market.
1.Answer:B
【解析】:
当前的市场价格是25美元,你拥有10000美元的自有资金可用于投资,向经纪商借入10000美元,于是总的投资额达到20000美元,购买了800股,维持*金比率是30%,也就是如果价格发生变动,当投资者的所有者权益与持有的股票的总市值之比为30%时,会收到追加*金通知,公式为[(P1×Q) - Margin loan] /(P1×Q),计算可得P1=$17.86。
2.Answer:A
【解析】:
当前的市场情况为:买价是54.62美元,卖价是54.71美元,一个新的限价卖单(54.62$)进入市场,可以看到这个卖单可以立马成交,所以是take the market。
区分take the market、make the market以及make the new market*的办法就是直接画图,建议以国内常见的卖价在上买价在下为准,然后观察新的指令单进入市场以后是与己方的*报价相同、比己方的当前*报价更优从而成为新的己方*报价还是直接可以成交,三种情况分别对应make the market、make a new market以及take the mark
