6) Suppose you hold a long position in a 100 futures contract for an exercise price of $70. Your broker requires an initial margin of 10% and a maintenance margin of 6%. Over the first 5 days the contract is active, the price of the underlying asset (originally $70 at the time you entered into the contract), moves from $70 to $60 to $65 to $45 to $60 to $65. Fill in the following table showing what the margin accounts balance is at the end of each trading day before any potential margin calls, whether youd receive a margin call that day, how much youd be required to put in, and what the ending balance would be after that margin call.
