    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.
