Explanation:

The calculation of the maintenance margin is shown below:

Maintenance margin = Number of shares purchased × price - loan amount ÷  Number of shares purchased × price

= 100 shares × $30 - $2,250 ÷ 100 shares × $30

= Number of shares purchased × per share price × initial margin

= 100 shares × $45 × 50%

= $2,250
