Share 4400 Overall Net gain in the set of transaction 2200 QUESTION NO. 1B In this case, the total value of ` 2,80,000 and the lot is 200, so, the NIFTY futures on the transaction date was 1.400 (i.e., 2,80,000 200). Now, on the settlement date, the NIFTY is 1378. So, it has reduced by 22 points. The loss to the investor is: Loss = (1400-1378) x 200+ 1000 = ` 4400 + ` 1000 = ` 5400 In case, he has sold the futures contract, his profit would have been: Profit = (1400-1378) x 200 - ` 1,000 = `4400 - ` 1000 = ` 3400 It may be noted that in both the cases i.e. whether the investor is buying Future Contract or Selling Future Contract. The brokerage of ` 1,000 would be payable.

Now we know that whenever balance falls below Maintenance Margin we have to maintain the

8 balance upto the initial margin. Hence we have-made a margin call of`3000 (10480-7480). 2.
