2.) percentage return on investment .

Answer 1

1. Profit on stock transaction = 1400

2. percentage return on investment = 11.57

Explanation:

stock's purchase price = 12,100

stock's selling price = 13,500

profit = stock's selling price - stock's purchase price

= 13,500 - 12,100

= 1,400

For, percentage return on investment;

⇒ percentage return =
`((profit)/(purchase price ))100`

=
`((1400)/(12100))100`

=
`11.57`
