Answer 1

I Deposit $10,000 of fully paid marginable securities

II Deposit $20,000 of fully paid marginable securities

Step-by-step explanation:

Marginable securities refers to stock, bonds and other securities which are capable to be traded on margin. These facilities are marketed by financial institution and brokerage. SMA cannot be used to pay a loan, when SMA is withdrawn it increases the loan balance which in turn increases restrictions.
