I’m a bit confused about how to incorporate the SMA into the equity calculation. Does it add to the total or is it separate?

I remember a practice question where we had to find equity in a margin account, and I think it was similar to this one. Could it be $20,500?

I think the equity is calculated by subtracting the short market value from the credit balance, but I'm not entirely sure how the SMA factors in.

I feel like the answer might be $20,000, but I’m not confident. I wish I had reviewed more margin account examples before the exam.

I should have paid more attention to the SSH configuration part; C seems off, but I can't remember what's right.
