Understood, the Market Value was the method we were using. But that statement about the Equity rule is somewhat ambiguous there, implying the $3 is when you use ONLY the Equity approach.

But if you read thru the Market Value route, allowing you to use the $2 rule, as I showed, in part (b) it does not specifically state that you cannot ALSO then use the Equity Standard as a second method, along with another of the 2 methods, to utilize the $2 @ 5 days...
