1. One thousand shares of Luis Inc. were purchased at Tk. 8.75 per share. The share price rose 215% in the first year after purchase, dropped 40% in the second year and then dropped another 20% in the third year. What is the price per share at the end of the third year?
- A. Tk.13.23
- B. Tk.13.23
- C. Tk.13.23
- D. Tk.13.23
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
the price per share at the end of the first year = 8.75 x (215 + 100)/100
the price per share at the end of the second year = 8.75 x (215 + 100)/100 x (100 - 40)/100
the price per share at the end of the third year = 8.75 x (215 + 100)/100 x (100 - 40)/100 x(100 - 20)/100
= 8.75 x 315/100 x 60/100 x 80/100
= 13.23 tk (ans)
