  1. Ch. 1: The Stock Market 1.7 Stock Transaction Fees

  2. How do you buy and sell stock??? • Shares of stock can only be purchased through a licensed stockbroker • They also give investors advice • Stockbrokers charge a broker fee. This can be a flat rate or a commission that is dependent on the value of the transaction. • Commission is a percentage of the value of the stock

  3. How do you buy and sell stock??? • People that make their own investment decisions can may decide to use a discount broker • Charge lower fees • Buying/selling at the market means you are instructing your broker to get the best possible price • You can place a limit order on which price you are willing to pay. Your broker will not purchase for higher than that price • The amount of money you make after broker fees are subtracted are called your net proceeds • Net proceeds = sale proceeds – purchase cost

  4. Example 1 Lee made two trades through his online discount broker, We-Trade. We-Trade charges a fee of $12 per trade. Lee’s first purchase was for $3,456 and his second purchase, later in the day, was for $2,000. How much did he spend on the day’s purchases, including broker fees?

  5. Example 2 Adriana purchased $7,000 worth of stock from a broker at Tenser Brokerage. The current value of Adriana’s portfolio is $11,567. What broker fee must she pay?

  6. Example 3 Jared has a portfolio worth $500,000. He made 10 telephone trades during the past year, buying and selling $50,000 worth of stock. What was his total broker fee for the year? Express his total broker fee algebraically if Jared had made b automated telephone trades.

  7. Example 4 Erin purchased $23,510 worth of stock and paid her broker a 1% broker fee. She sold when the stock price increased to $27,300, and used a discount broker who charged $21 per trade. Compute her net proceeds. Now you try one… Yolanda purchased stock for $7,000 and paid a 1.5% broker fee. She sold it for $6,325 and paid a 0.5% broker fee. Compute her net proceeds.
