What is the capital gain the investor earned on this investment?(1 point)Responses$250250 dollars$5050 dollars$7575 dollars$325
To calculate the capital gain, we need to find the difference between the selling price and the purchase price per share and then multiply it by the number of shares.
The purchase price per share is $5, and the selling price per share is $6.50.
The capital gain per share is $6.50 - $5 = $1.50.
The total capital gain for all 50 shares is $1.50 * 50 = $<<1.5*50=75>>75.
Therefore, the investor earned a capital gain of $75 on this investment.
