Margin

In 2003, Opes Prime Stockbroking was founded in a growing margin lending market, where investors borrow money to invest in forms of shares or managed funds, with the security of their existing cash, shares or managed funds. The amount that they are able to borrow depends on their securities on their portfolio, and the Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) and the credit limit depend on the investors’ financial position. Opes Prime Stockbroking lent with a high LVR up to 95%, meaning that a client could borrow up to 95% of the value of the speculative shares he owned. As more speculative shares were invested by clients, and this also added the credit risk to the company. It did not follow the margin lending rule, instead, it managed agreements with external…

planning for treatment for sub gingival placement of margin. It is essential for a health care practitioner to know how to prepare the patient’s teeth as well as place the gingival margins since this will lead to esthetic and a predictable final result. The relationship between the restoration of teeth and periodontal health is inseparable and intimate. As such, the treating health care practitioner is supposed to be well knowledgeable of the interactions of the restorations involving tissues of…

In the article, "In Praise of Margins" by Ian Frazier, he states how "marginal people or places or activities are the ones that don't quite work out"(Frazier 7). On the other hand, however, Frazier also claims that "marginal places are the blue­sky research zones of the outdoors"(Frazier 7). By having marginal places to go to, one can have a place to escape from the real world to do activities that do not really account for any economical values. Simply doing activities like throwing rocks,…

b. Pricing and margin analysis Prices of a company’s goods and services must be competitive otherwise it risks losing customers and potential sales. At the same time selling prices must include appropriate cost recovery, without which losses may occur and the operations become uneconomic. In setting prices for the market, the company needs to consider its competitive position or that of its products and services, and also the complexities in operating the business activities. Poor price setting…

In “Mapping the Margins,” Crenshaw provides insight into the intersecting identities and experiences of marginal women—namely women of colour, poor women, immigrant women, and undocumented women, among others—stressing the reciprocal ways in which these social positions interact with and shape one another. Although not explicitly stated, these concepts of intersectionality are also well-suited to map identities of power, particularly to help understand and abolish the power and authority assumed…

2) Brief Summary of Margin Call The film is about an investment firm that is facing financial difficulties. The firm embarks on a retrenchment initiative to try and improve viability. It retrenches the head of risk management who was working on an important analysis regarding certain mortgage-backed security valuations being ‘overstated’ and the company’s overexposure to these securities. Before leaving, he hands the file over to one of his junior risk analysts with the words: “Be careful”. The…

Special Order Results I think taking the special order, if we have excess capacity to do so, would be a positive choice. It would add a $13.25 per burger addition to our operating income if we went with the variable cost structure and a $30.03 increase per burger using the fixed cost structure8. I think that if this was a recurring order, I strongly suggest using the fixed cost structure since the fixed cost are taken care of already regardless of the special order and will only rise if it is…

The purposelessness of life is what fills it with purpose. In his essay, “In Praise of Margins,” Ian Frazier defines the word “marginal” as the places or activities that “don’t sufficiently account for themselves in the economic world” (Frazier 7), usually being purposeless and occurring during one’s free time. Some places and activities in Frazier’s life that he now considers “marginal” are going to the woods and fishing. Being in “marginal” places and participating in “marginal” activities…
