Respuesta :

Answer:

$8680

Explanation:

Given: Quantity of share purchased = 340 shares.

           Purchased price= $26 per share.

           Selling price= $32 per share.

           Commission paid for each transaction= $160.

Now, computing to find the total investment on the purchase of the stock.

Total investment= [tex](Purchase\ price \times\ quantity\ purchased) - Commission\ paid[/tex]

⇒ Total investment=  [tex](\$ 26\times 340) - \$ 160[/tex]

⇒ Total investment= [tex]\$ 8840 - \$ 160[/tex]

∴ Total investment=  [tex]\$ 8680[/tex]

Hence, total investment on the purchase of the stock is $8680.
