D. What was the profit for the 600 shares?

a. percentage increase in price per share = 12%

b. The total purchase price for the 600 shares is $20,700

c. The profit for the 600 shares is $2,484

d. The profit for the 600 shares is $2,484

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Initial price per share = $34.50

Current price per share = $38.64

Change or increase in price = $38.64 - $34.50 = $4.14

percentage increase in price per share = 12/34.50 x 100% = 12%

b. Total number of shares = 600

Price = $34.50

The total purchase price for the 600 shares = ($34.5x600) = $20,700

c. Total cost of 600 shares = ($34.5x600) = $20,700

Total revenue from sales = ($38.64x600) = $23,184

Profit from the 600 shares = Total selling price - total cost price

= $23,184 - $20,700 = $2,484

d. Total cost of 600 shares = ($34.5x600) = $20,700

Total revenue from sales = ($38.64x600) = $23,184

Profit from the 600 shares = Total selling price - total cost price

= $23,184 - $20,700 = $2,484
