Question 3 talks about acceptable methods of correcting trade errors. The answer provided in the textbook is only partly explanatory. It says that you must credit accounts with short term interest if cash was incorrectly used to purchase equities that were later removed. I get this. But beyond crediting interest, the answer also implies that the method utilized in the question to correct the problem (removing shares at the current market price) is wrong. What is the right way and the right price to make the correction? |
