Feliz [49]

Answer:

56.67%

Explanation:

Purchase cost = 30 dollars

Margin x price = 0.60x30 = $18

30-18 = $12

Profit = $47 - $30 - 0.07(12)

= 16.16

Percentage earned = (16.16 /18) * 100

= 89.78%

Profit from the trade

= 47-30

= 17

Percentage earned = 17/30 * 100

= 56.67%

The return would have been 56 67% if the investor had not done this.
