What is the Delphi technique in risk management? How would you use the results of the Delphi technique? Are the results of the Delphi technique applicable to an issue in an organization that you are familiar with? Explain.
Suppose you are bullish on Stock X and instruct your broker to buy 1,000 shares on margin, with a margin of 60%. The current price of a share of Stock X is $30, the interest on loans is 5%, and the maintenance margin is 40%.
a) How much do you borrow from your broker?
b) How far can the stock price fall before a margin call?
c) If the price falls to $15 and your broker issues a margin call. What can you do to solve this problem?
d) If the price of the stock rises to $35 (falls to $25) after one year and you decide to sell, how much is your profit? How much is your rate of return?
