An investor purchased 100 shares of stock X at \small 6\frac{1}{8} dollars per share and sold them all a year later at 24 dollar
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

option (C) 280%

Explanation:

Number of shares of stock X purchased = 100

Purchasing cost of share = \$6\frac{1}{8} =\frac{49}{8}

Selling cost of stocks = $24 per share

Brokerage paid = 2%

Now,

The total purchasing cost involved = 100\times\frac{49}{8} + 2% of 100\times\frac{49}{8}

= 612.5 + 0.02 × 612.5

= $624.75

also,

Total income from sales of stocks

= Total selling cost of shares - brokerage paid

= $24 × 100 - 2% of Total selling cost

= $2400 - ( 0.02 × $2400 )

= $2400 - $48

= $2,352

now,

The investor's percent gain on this investment = \frac{\textup{Income-invested amount}}{\textup{Invested amount}}\times100\%

= \frac{\textup{2,352 - 624.75}}{\textup{624.75}}\times100\%

= \frac{\textup{1727.25}}{\textup{624.75}}\times100\%

= 276.47% ≈ 280%

Hence, the correct answer is option (C) 280%

Nielsen PRIZM uses ________ segmentation to classify every U.S. household as one of 66 unique market segments based on the belie
Gemiola [76]

Nielsen PRIZM uses Market Segmentation.  

Explanation:

Market division is the way toward isolating a market of potential clients into gatherings, or sections, in view of various qualities. The fragments made are made out of buyers who will react also to showcasing procedures and who share qualities, for example, comparable interests, needs, or areas.  

Market division makes it simpler for advertisers to customize their promoting efforts.  

By organizing their organization's objective market into divided gatherings, as opposed to focusing on every potential client exclusively, advertisers can be increasingly effective with their time, cash, and different assets than if they were focusing on buyers on an individual level.

Gathering comparable shoppers enables advertisers to target explicit spectators in a financially savvy way.   Market division additionally lessens the danger of a fruitless or ineffectual showcasing effort.

At the point when advertisers separate a market dependent on key attributes and customize their procedures dependent on that data, there is an a lot higher possibility of progress than if they somehow managed to make a conventional battle and attempt to actualize it over all sections.
