Mackin Investing charges its customers a 1% commission. The Ross Group, a discount broker, charges $25 per trade. For what amount of stock would both brokers charge the same commission?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The amount of stock for which both brokers would charge the same commission is $2500.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Let the amount of stock to be traded be worth $x

ii) therefore for both the brokers to charge the same commission we can write

   1% of x  = $25 [tex]\RIghtarrow[/tex][tex]\Rightarrow[/tex]  0.01 [tex]\times[/tex] x  = 25  [tex]\therefore[/tex]   x = [tex]\frac{25}{0.01} = 2500[/tex]

The amount of stock for which both brokers would charge the same commission is $2500.
