Tim Jones

Investment in DEF yielded the higher return of $1,225 (net proceeds) than ABC's return of $1,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Investments in ABC and DEF:

                                          ABC           DEF

Investment (shares)          100           100

Unit price of shares         $5.25        $6.00

Total investments            $525        $600

Selling price per share    $10           $15

Sales proceeds              $1,000     $1,500

Investment commission   ($0)        ($275)

Net proceeds from sale $1,000     $1,225

b)  The above calculations show clearly that the investment in DEF with a load of $275 yielded the higher returns than investment in ABC with no load.  This result suggests that the investment load may not be the only factor for rejecting an investment, but its net proceeds.

all you have to do is 9x31 (which equals 279) and then 20x31 (which equals 620). then you have to subtract. 620-279=341.
