Mathew had purchased 100 shares of Blue Corporation for $100 per share. Currently, the stocks of Blue Corporation are trading at $150. Which of the following is the return on Mathew’s investment on one share?
(A) 65%
(B) 50%
(C) 75%
(D) 80%
(E) 40%

Respuesta :

Answer:

(B) 50%

Explanation:

Mathew's personal returns on each share is 50% because he bought the shares for a price of $100, and now the shares are trading at a price of $150.

If he sold the shares, he would gain $50, and $50 is obviously the 50% of he original $100 that he initially invested.
