    Total value of stocks purchased = 600*41 = $24,600

    The commission paid = 1% = 0.01 * 24,600 = $246

    Total purchase cost = $24,600 + $246 = $24,846

    Sale price = $41.75

    Total sale proceeds = 41.75*600 = $25,050

    There is a flat commission of $30 on the sale

    Total sale proceeds after commission = $25,050 - $30 = $25,020

    Net proceeds = Total sales vale - total purchase cost

    Net proceeds = 25,020 - 24,846 = $204 (profit)

    Since we have a profit, the answer is sale proceeds are positive
