Answer:

$50

Step by Step Explanation:

100 shares × $70 = $7,000

$7,000 × 0.5 = $3,500 (loan amount)

0.30 = (100P −$3,500)/100P

0.30×100P= 30P

30P = 100P −$3,500

30P- 100P= -70P

−70P = −$3,500

-3500/-70P = $50P

P = $50

The stock price level someone would get a margin call Assuming the stock pays no dividend is $50
