Suppose you invest in 100 shares of harley-davidson (hog) at $40 per share and 230 shares ofyahoo (yhoo) at $25 per share. if the price of harley-davidson increases to $50 and the priceof yahoo decreases to $20 per share, what is the return on your portfolio? a) -1.54%b) 12.25%c) -10.50%d) -5.20%

A) -1.54%

Explanation:

First, find the total amount invested in these two shares;

Amount invested in HOG shares = 100 *$40 = $4000

Amount invested in YHOO shares = 230 *$25 = $5750

Total amount invested = $5750 + $4000= $9750

Next, find the new total value of these shares;

New value of HOG shares = 100 *$50 = $5000

New value of YHOO shares = 230 *$20 = $4600

Total value = $4600 + $5000= $9600

Find the percentage change in value to determine your return;

% return = [New value - original value/ original ] *100

=  [ ($9600 - $9750) / $9750 ] *100

= -0.01538 *100

= -1.54%

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
