Respuesta :

Answer:

$2,049

Explanation:

The profit or loss on a stock portfolio can be determined by by comparing the stock closing value at a specific date and the purchase price.  

As per given data

Stock   Shares    Allocated Price

A            700         $22.15

B            360         $26.43

C            240         $28.87

Purchase price = (700 + 360 + 240 ) shares  x $23 = $29,900

First day Closing Value of Portfolio

Stock   Shares    Allocated Price  Value

A            700         $22.15             $15,505

B            360         $26.43            $9,514.8

C            240         $28.87           $6,928.8

Total                                             $31,948.6

Profit on the first day closing = Closing price of Portfolio - Purchase price

Profit on the first day closing = $31,948.6 - $29,900 = $2,048.6
