The calculation of margin for investor's option accounts is a complex and costly problem for brokerage houses. The existing procedures usually involve a heuristic requiring sequential computations. These are shown to be inefficient and suboptimal. A simple transportation formulation is presented which permits a direct computation of minimum margin and shows considerable savings when compared with existing heuristic procedures.
