Question 14 • 26-27 Ignite Financial Literacy Personal Finance - EL3403

Theo buys 116 shares of Raxin Accounting at $15.66 per share and 165 shares of Sanden Research Labs at $8.57 per share. If Theo’s broker charges a commission of $11.50 per ten shares bought or sold, how much does Theo pay in commission?

Answer
A
$1,816.56
B
$323.15
C
$3,553.76
D
$1,414.05

Explanation

Theo buys 116 + 165 = 281 shares in total. At $11.50 per 10 shares, the commission is (281 ÷ 10) × $11.50 = $323.15. So the correct choice is $323.15.
