Answer 2

Answer:

Total loss will be $986.4

Explanation:

We have given that someone 45 shares of Evu Confectioners at $63.12

So total cost required to buy the share cost price = 45×$63.12 = $2840.4

Now due to hard times he sell the share at price of $41.20 per share

So to total selling price = 45×$41.20 = $1854

We have to find the total loss

Loss = cost price - selling price

So loss = $2840.4 - $1854 = $986.4
