    The Rates of return = 22.83%

    Explanation:

    The stock that is bought by Julie Martin = $3000

    Own money used to buy = $2000

    Borrowed money = $1000

    Interest on borrowed money = $15

    Brokerage commissions = $150

    The stock is sold after one month = $3850

    Now first calculate the net profit = Selling price of stock - cost price of stock - Interest on borrowing - commission

    = 3850 - 3000 - 15 - 150

    = 685

    Now calculate the rate of return = Net profit / cost of stock

    = 685 / 3000

    = 0.2283 or 22.83 percent.
