    Check the explanation

    Explanation:

    To calculate or compute the annual percentage growth rate over a particular year period, minus the opening value from the ending value, after which you'll divide by the opening value. Then multiply the result you got by 100 to get your growth rate that is demonstrated as a percentage.

    The step by step calculation can be seen below:

    a) if reaches 50 then per share gain

    =final-initial-call premium

    =50-45-3.25=1.75

    gain (%) = gaim/initial) * 100

    = (1.75/45) * 100

    =3.89%

    b) gain=50-44=6

    gain (%) = (6/44) * 100

    =13.654%
