Answer:

% change in net worth = 13.33%

% change in net worth = 0%

% change in net worth = -13.33%

Explanation:

given data

No of shares bought = 1,000    

Current Market Price = $20    

Required funds to purchase = $20 × 1000  = $20,000    

Own funds = $15,000    

Borrowed funds (Deficit) = 5,000    

Rate on margin loan = 8%

solution

we know here that Required funds to purchase is = $20 × 1000  = $20,000   and

net worth = No of shares × Current Market Price of shares - Borrowed funds

so

Current Net worth = 1000 × 20 - 5000

Current Net worth = $15000  

so for price of xtel immediately changes $22

as Net worth at various price levels =  17000

so % change in net worth = [tex]\frac{(17000-15000)}{15000}[/tex]

% change in net worth = 13.33%

and

so for price of xtel immediately changes $20

as Net worth at various price levels =  15000

so % change in net worth = [tex]\frac{(15000-15000)}{15000}[/tex]

% change in net worth = 0%

and

so for price of xtel immediately changes $18

as Net worth at various price levels =  13000

so % change in net worth = [tex]\frac{(13000-15000)}{15000}[/tex]

% change in net worth = -13.33%
