Answer 1

Answer:

$9,900

Explanation:

For computing the amount of the unrealized loss, first we have to find out the shareholding and unrealized loss per share which is shown below:

Shareholding = Purchase value of shares - (Sale value of shares + sale value of shares)

= 6,000 shares - (2,400 shares + 2,700 shares)

= 6,000 shares - 5,100 shares

= 900 shares

And, the unrealized loss per share = $33 - $22 = $11

Now the unrealized loss would be

= 900 shares × $11

= $9,900
