Answer:

$6,734

Explanation:

The computation of the borrowed amount is shown below:

= Number of shares purchased × margin per share × (1 - initial margin)

= 219 shares × $75 × (1 - 0.41)

= $16,425 × (1 - 0.41)

= $6,734

For computing the borrowed amount we multiplied the number of shares purchased with the margin per share after considering the initial margin
