Suppose you purchased 96 shares of Ferber stock on Day 1 at the high price. What is the return on your investment, if you sold the stock on Day 5 at the high price? Table: http://gyazo.com/738f0b128c127e48cda06eba6eded180 Answer choices: 3.46% 10.09% 11.22% 17.62%

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

For the rate of return, the number of shares does not matter. You just need to calculate the percent increase from 19.87 to 22.10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would that be 2.23% increase then?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(percent~change = \dfrac{new~value - old~value}{old~value} \times 100\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is 19.87 or 22.10 the old value?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

old value = 19.87 new value = 22.10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 2.23/19.87x100 =11.22

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

correct
