b) Profit earned on each share * number of shares purchased = Total amount of profit
2. a) Step 1: (End of year price – beginning year price) = Loss Step 2: (Loss + annual income of $100) = Dollar Amount of Return Step 3: Dollar Amount of Return / Beginning year price = % return b) Hint: it should be a negative number
