Marley Acosta · Answer 1

Answer: The answer is $1407.50 APEX

Gabriela Strickland · Answer 2

The answer is: C. $1407.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Buying:

30 * $20.95 + 20 * $25.50 =

$628.50 + $510 = $1138.

Selling:

50 * $28.75 = $1437.50

Remaining Cash:

$1437.50 - $30 = $1407.50

(This answer assumes Jen paid the other $30 per transaction when she bought the original shares, but had to pay $30 when she sold the shares.)
