3. An investor buys 200 shares of PFE at the Last Trade price, pays a $50 commission on the purchase, and sells the 200 shares a year later for $30 per share with a 2% commission on the sale. The following lists the six New York Stock Exchange volume leaders on June 24: 6

a.Total Cost of purchase= $28.52(200) + $50 = $5754 b.Total Dividend = $0.72(200) = $144 c.Sales Commission =.02($30 x 200) = $120 d.Capital gain = ($30 – $28.52) x 200 – $50 – $120 = $126 e.Total Return = $126 + $144 = $270 f.PR = = = = 4.60% $270. $5874 $270. ($ $120) 7

An investor (a day trader) always buys 1000 shares of stock at the market close price and sells them at the last sale price, paying a $25 commission per transaction. Find a.The total cost of purchase. b.The return for the day. c.The percent of return if the stock the trader bought is MSLV. 8

Capital appreciation: an increase in the NAV of the fund. Net asset value (NAV): Where: A = total fund assets L = total fund liabilities N = total number of outstanding shares.

Find: a. the capital appreciation. b. the yield. c. the return of EastCo stock. 11

($50 – $40) 400 $ 4 $50 = = 2.5% = 0.08 = 8% ($10(400) + $4(400)) ($40*400) = 0.35 = 35% 12

Suppose an investor automatically reinvests at the rate of 1% per month. Find the annual rate of return. The solution to this problem is no different than finding the APY of compound interest. Annual rate of return = ( ) 12 – 1 = 0.13 = 13% 13 END
