Jeff Sellers bought 200 shares of Radio Shack stock at $22.35. Eight months later,he sold the stock at $31.76. Assuming a 2% commission charge, what is the bottom line for Jeff?

To calculate the bottom line for Jeff, we need to consider the initial cost of buying the stock, the profit from selling the stock, and the commission charge.

1. Calculate the initial cost of buying the stock:
The initial cost is the number of shares multiplied by the purchase price per share.
Initial cost = Number of shares * Purchase price per share
Initial cost = 200 * $22.35

2. Calculate the profit from selling the stock:
The profit is the number of shares multiplied by the selling price per share.
Profit = Number of shares * Selling price per share
Profit = 200 * $31.76

3. Calculate the commission charge:
The commission charge is a percentage of the selling price and needs to be deducted.
Commission charge = (2/100) * Profit

4. Calculate the bottom line:
Bottom line = Profit - Commission charge - Initial cost

Let's substitute the values into the equations:

Initial cost = 200 * $22.35 = $4,470
Profit = 200 * $31.76 = $6,352
Commission charge = (2/100) * $6,352 = $127.04
Bottom line = $6,352 - $127.04 - $4,470

Calculating the bottom line:
Bottom line = $6,352 - $127.04 - $4,470
Bottom line = $1,754.96

Therefore, the bottom line for Jeff after considering the commission charge is $1,754.96.
