2. “Purchase Price” for stock
Example
Purchased 100 shares of Apple stock at 270 with a 2% broker’s fee.
Shares x Price (100 x 270) = $27,000
Total x Broker % ($27,000 x .02) = $543 broker fee
Add cost + broker fee
$27, = Total Cost of $27,543

3. “Sale Price” for Stock Example
Sold 100 shares of Apple stock at 300 with a 2% brokerage fee
Shares x Cost (100 x 300) = $30,000 Total
Total x Broker Fee ($30,000 x .02) = $600 Fee
Subtract fee from total
$30,000 - $600 fee = Proceeds $29,400

4. Gain or Loss
Purchased 100 shares of Apple stock + broker’s fee for $27,543
Sold 100 shares of Apple stock – broker’s fee for $29,400
Did you make or lose money?
Gain: Total Received -Total Cost is Positive.
(Sale – Purchase = Positive Amount)
Loss: Total Received – Total Cost is Negative.
(Sale-Purchase = Negative Amount)
