A. 25% of the monthly returns are below or equal to the first quartile. 50% of the monthly returns are below or equal to the second quartile. 75% of the monthly returns are below or equal to the third quartile.
The profit amounts to $5.91. Based on the information presented:
The number of shares sold is 300, the selling price is $30.19, and a commission fee of 0.5% equates to 0.005. The purchase price is $29.87. Let's calculate it:
Total selling price = 300 × $30.19 = $9057. Therefore, proceeds from the sale are: Total selling price - Commission = $9057 - (0.005 × $9057) = $9,011.715. Furthermore, the purchasing cost for the shares is 300 × $29.87 = $8,961. The total expense incurred for purchase, including the commission, is $8,961 + (0.005 × $8,961) = $8,961 + $44.805 = $9,005.805. Consequently, profit is considered to be: Proceeds from sale - Total purchasing cost = $9,011.715 - $9,005.805 = $5.91.
