請問L1 Reading 52 Problem 3:
sell short : 100 shares @ 56
close out @ 45 with $2.5 dividend per share
margin requirement : 45%
commission fee : beginning $155 + ending $145
interest : 8% interest on the money borrowed
解答中 計算投資報酬率是:
5600-4500-250-155-145-0.08*0.55*5600
-----------------------------------------
0.45*5600+155
我對利息0.08*0.55*5600這項覺得有點疑問,理論上sell short時產生的利息,對投資者應該算是"利得",所以我覺得應該要當作"加項"。
想了很久也沒想通,不知道板上先進是否能夠幫忙解答。
答覆:
CFA協會出版的2008年Level 1 Volume 5 p.37,題目原文是:
3. 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 percent 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 and 8 percent interest on the money borrowed. What is your rate of return on the investment?
原文題目與解答皆有錯誤。
正確解答應是:
放空出售的淨利為:期初價值-期末價值-股利-交易成本
投資的期初價值為=$56.00×100股=$5,600
(借券放空交易)
你的投資=繳交保證金+佣金
=(0.45×$5,600)+$155
=$2,520+$155
=$2,675
投資的期末價值=$45.00×100=$4,500
(回補放空部位)
股利=$2.50×100股=$250.00
交易成本=$155+$145=$300.00
因此,
淨利=$5,600-$4,500-$250-$300=$550
故你投資$2,675的報酬率應為
$550/$2,675=20.56%
原文解答A-3的3.有錯誤。
在2008年CFA Program: Level I Errata有更正如下:
當投資人放空股票時,除了放空收入以外,還要繳交保證金作為擔保,並未借現金,故不須繳交利息。故應把原文題目提到所支付借現金的8%利息及原文解答計算利息成本的部分刪除。
同學應注意,台灣的融資融券實務與美國不同,考試時要特別注意。
