    Explanation:

    Tett co:

    600 x $108 + 162 commision = 64,962

    Issacson:

    2,300 x $38 + 391 commision = 87,791

    sale of Tett:

    200 x 120 - 78 = 23922

    cost: 64,962 x 200/600 = 21.654‬

    Gain: 23,922 - 21,654 = 2,268

    sale of Issacson:

    800 x $30 - $93 = 23,907

    cost: 87,791 x 800/2000 = 39.116,4

    loss: 15.209,4

    dividends:

    400 shares x 0.26 = 104
