Under an initial federal requirement of 70% equity, Bubba purchases 100 shares of XYZ at $40 per share and wishes to satisfy the margin call by delivering another listed security into his account. He may do so by depositing stocks with a market value of:
  1. $9,333
  2. $5,714
  3. $4,000
  4. $2,800
Explanation
Answer: A - $9,333. If Bubba were depositing cash, he would need $2,800 (70% x $4,000). Since he is depositing stock, he would have to deposit enough with loan value of $2,800. To arrive at this, divide $2,800 by the 30% loan value to obtain $9,333.
