Answer:
$678
Explanation:
Given that,
Number of shares sold = 300
Selling price of each share = $42.06
Cost of purchasing shares = $39.80 per share
Total dividend received = $1,272
We can easily determine the total capital gain on this investment by comparing the sales value and purchase value of this stock.
Total capital gain on this investment:
= Sales value - Purchase value
= (Number of units × Selling price per unit) - (Number of units × cost of purchasing per share)
= (300 × $42.06) - (300 × $39.80)
= $12,618 - $11,940
= $678
