Example of figuring out change in SMA - correct answer ✔✔Since the market value is $10,000, the
customer can borrow a total of 50% or $5,000 (initial SMA). The customer has actually borrowed $4,000
though since there is $1,000 in the SMA account. If the mkt value increases by 10% (11,000) half of that
can be borrowed (5,500) but since we already borrowed 4,000 we will now have 1,500 in the account

the account, the excess of $22,500 may be borrowed and is the SMA amount. Initial equity doesnt count,
,if it doesnt tell you a specific SMA amount, the initial amount is probably zero so just take difference of
new equity and 50% of market value
