A is correct. Additional collateral (C) required for posting can be explained from the mark-to-market value of collateral posted (X), mark-to-market value of net exposure (E), the threshold (K), and the minimum transfer amount (MTA) as follows:
(i) Collateral call (C) can be made if:
(ii) The collateral amount required: , and the amount is positive if , otherwise it is zero.
In this example:
which corresponds to no collateral call. Thus, A is correct.
B is incorrect. CNY 1,990,000 = new exposure − original exposure − rounding amount = $27,000,000 - 25,000,000 - 10,000$, which is incorrect.
C is incorrect. CNY 2,000,000 is the difference between the new net exposure and the original net exposure ().
D is incorrect. CNY 2,500,000 is the minimum transfer amount.
