"A customer sells short 200 shares of ABC stock in a margin account. ABC declares a 5% stock dividend. How many shares must be purchased to close out the short position?"

210 shares

Explanation:

A customer sells 200 shares of ABC stock in a margin account

ABC declares a 5% stock dividend

=5/100

= 0.05

Therefore, the amount of shares that must be purchased inorder to close out the short position can be calculated as follows

= 200×0.05

10+200 shares

= 210 shares
