Answer 1

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

The data in the question are merged and they are separated first before the question is answered as follows:

Security                       Shares                Purchased Cost ($)

Hawking Inc.                   750                           33,375

Pavlov Co.                    2,030                          47,096

The answers and explanation are now as follows:

Hawking Inc. market value = $53 * 750 = $39,750

Pavlov Co. market value = $42 * 2,030 = $85,260

Total market value stock = $125,010

Total cost of stock = $33,375 + 47,096 = $80,471

Unrealized gain from stock = Market value - Cost = $125,010 - $80,471 = $44,539
