George purchased a futures contract at 349. The contract is on 2500 units, requires a 10% margin deposit and is priced in cents per unit. George sold the contract at 278. What is George's return on invested capital

Respuesta :

Answer:

-203.4%

Explanation:

Initial investment = 2,500*349*10%

Initial investment = 87,250

Return = (278 - 349) * 2,500 unit

Return = -71 * 2,500 unit

Return = -177,500

Return on invested capital = Return / Initial investment

Return on invested capital = -177,500/87,250

Return on invested capital = 2.034383954154728

Return on invested capital = -203.4%
