Suggested Answer: A

If your client places an order to purchase 500 shares of Oracle on the open market on Wednesday, September 15th, payment will be due on Monday, September 20th. The settlement date for stock transactions is T + 3, which means the third business day after the trade. Saturday is not a business day.

I’m a bit confused about the exact dates. I thought it was due the next day, but that doesn’t seem to fit here.

I practiced a similar question, and I think it was about the same timeline. But what if the market is closed on a weekend?

I remember something about T+2 settlement, so I guess that would make it Monday, September 20th, right?

I think payment is usually due two business days after the trade date, but I'm not entirely sure if weekends count.
