Tamara purchased 1,500 shares of a mutual fund at an offer price of $7.08 per share. Later she sold the investment for $10.02 pe

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Return of investment = 44.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of shares purchased by Tamara = 1500

Offer price per share = 7. 08

Total amount spent on purchasing shares = 1500 × 7.08 = 10620

Dividend receive per share = 0.21

Total dividend received on 1500 shares = no. of shares × dividend received per share

Total dividend received = 1500 × 0.21 = 315

Selling price per share = 10.02

Amount received by Tamara by selling the investment = no. of shares × selling price per share

Amount received by Tamara by selling the investment

= 1500 × 10.02

= 15030

Now, Net profit received on investment = S.P of Investment + Dividend received - C.P of investment

Net profit = 15030 + 315 - 10620 = 15345 - 10620 = 4725

Return on investment = $\frac{Net\ profit}{Cost\ of\ investment} \times 100$

= $\frac{4725}{10620} \times 100 = 44.49%$

≈ 44.5 %

Answer: 90 Earth years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Analizing the information provided in the exercise, you need to find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the given numbers.

You can follow these steps:

1. You must descompose 6, 9, 15 and 18 into their prime factors:

$6=2*3\\\\9=3*3=3^2\\\\15=3*5\\\\18=2*3*3=2*3^2$

2. Finally, you need to choose the commons and non commons with their greatest exponents and multiply them. Then you get:

$L.C.M=2*3^2*5=2*9*5\\\\L.C.M=90$

Therefore, it will take 90 Earth years for them to all line up.
