Answer:

$0

Explanation:

Given: Purchased price of 1000 shares common stock is $10.

           Selling price of 500 share at $20.

First, computing purchase price and selling price

Purchase price of 1000 shares= [tex]1000\times 10= \$ 10000[/tex]

Selling price of 500 shares= [tex]500\times 20= \$ 10000[/tex]

Now, computing revenue

Revenue= [tex]Sales-purchase[/tex]

Revenue= [tex]10000-10000= \$ 0[/tex]

∴ There is $0 revenue realised from the sale.
