Mr Lim has 400 shares of Stock A and 500 shares of Stock B .He gains $3.00 per share from Stock A and loses $2.00 per share from Stock B .How much does he gain or lose from these two stocks taken together?

400 * 3 = 1200 gain

500 * 2 = 1000 loss

1200 - 1000 = ?

Thank you very much Ms Sue.

You're very welcome, Fazella.

To calculate the total gain or loss from these two stocks taken together, we need to multiply the number of shares for each stock by their respective gains or losses per share and then add them together.

For Stock A:
Number of shares: 400
Gain per share: $3.00
Total gain from Stock A = 400 shares * $3.00/share

For Stock B:
Number of shares: 500
Loss per share: $2.00
Total loss from Stock B = 500 shares * $2.00/share

To calculate the total gain or loss, we subtract the total loss from the total gain:

Total Gain/Loss = Total gain from Stock A - Total loss from Stock B

Substituting the values:

Total Gain/Loss = (400 shares * $3.00/share) - (500 shares * $2.00/share)
