45.67%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the remaining margin in the account

First step is to calculate the 1 year price

1 year price=1900 shares*$58 per share

1 year price = $110,200

Second step is to calculate the Equity

Margin requirement is 50% so equity = 50%*$110,200

Margin requirement is 50% so equity =$55,100

Third step is to calculate the 1 year later price increase of 60

1 year later price increase to 60

$1900 shares*$60 per share =114,000

Fourth step is to calculate the Dividend

Dividend =$3.50 *1900

Now let calculate the Margin

Margin = $55,100/($114,000+$6,650)

Margin =$55,100/$120,650

Margin= 45.67%

Therefore the remaining margin in the account is 45.67%
