A. $5000
B. $10,000

D. $20,000

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is option C

Explanation:

Long Market Value - Debit = Equity %

$100,000 $60,000 $40,000 40%

If the market value declines to $60,000, the account will now show:

Long Market Value - Debit = Equity %

$60,000  - $60,000 = $0 ( 0% )

Minimum margin is 25% of market value, i.e  25% of $60,000 = $15,000.

Therefore the customer will receive a maintenance call for $15,000.
