-7.692%

Step-by-step explanation:

a.)Buying: total cost

Total cost= commission + (price per share* # of shares ) ;

Total cost= 12 + (11.06*750)= 12+8295 = $8,307

b.)Net gain or loss;

First, find cash received from sale of stock and deduct commission;

Cash from sale =10.24 * 750= 7,680

deduct commission= 7680-12= $7,668

Gain or loss= sale-cost = 7668-8307 = -$639, meaning there is a loss.

c.) Annual rate of return= (net gain or loss/amount paid)*100%

return= -639/(8307)*100 = -7.692%

Step-by-step explanation:

∠acb = 8°

step-by-step explanation:

∠xba lies on the circle and is half the measure of the intercepted arc ax

hence

measure of arc ax = 2 × 42° = 84°

∠acb is outside the circle and is

∠acb = (arcab - arcax ), hence

∠acb = 0.5 (100 - 84) = 0.5 × 16° = 8°
