    Answer: The net value of the investment in Flax at year end = $2,500

    Explanation: Given from the question

    Year 1 Number of shares Purchased (sold) Price per share

    February 3, 1,100 $11

    April 15, 2,500 $9

    May 28, (750) $13

    July 5, 1,400 $12

    September 30, (4,000) #15

    From the given values above, we can see that

    Total number of shares purchased for the year 1 = 1,100 + 2500 + 1400 = $5000

    Total number of shares sold for the year 1 = 4000 + 750 = $4,750

    Share Balance = $5000 - $4,750 = $ 250

    but flax is trading at $10 per share

    Therefore the amount of net value of investment = $250 x $10 = $2,500
