Explanation / Answer

Answer.

1. Calculation of investor net reciept from sale of 100 share of ABC common stock.

Transaction cost of 2.5% of the total amount of a transaction

100 shares x $200 per share = $20,000

Less 2.5% of $20,000 = $500

Net reciept = $20,000 - $500 = $19,500.

2. MassBank common stock cost =

100 share x $40 per share = $4000

$4000 x 3.5% = $140

Total cost   = $4,000 + $140 = $4,140

3.   A Bid is the price selected by a buyer to purchase a stock, while the Offer is the price at which the seller is offering to sell the stock.

A. An investor will have to pay $_____ to buy 60 of MassNet common stock directly from the dealer;

No of share = 60

Bid price = $11.70

60 x $11.70 = $702

B. An investor will receive $_______ from selling 95 of MassNet common stock directly from the dealer.

No of share = 95

Bid price = $12.50

Net received = 95 x $12.50 = $1,187.50
