Problem 1: Life is Short : Chris worked hard during the summer and managed to save $2,000, which he holds in T-bills. He wants to short some Apple stock, which is currently sold at $50 per share (assume that Apple does not distribute dividends, maybe an i-Tunes gift-card, if you're lucky..). The initial margin, which Chris fully exploits, is 50%, and the maintenance margin is 30%.
