Answer:

It is a violation of NASD rules against guaranteeing a customer against loss.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case the RR is guaranteeing the customer against loss. The customer initially bought the shares for $20 the new price is $10. The RR now coming in to buy the shares above market value is a way to guarantee the customer against loss, and its a NASD violation.
