    Given:

    Total number of shares = 150

    Selling price = $42

    Purchase price = $27

    Find:

    Angela's profit on investment = ?

    Computation of Angela's profit on investment:

    Angela's profit on investment = Total sales value - Total purchase value

    Angela's profit on investment = (150 x $42) - (150 x $27)

    Angela's profit on investment = $6,300 - $4,050

    Angela's profit on investment = $2,250

    Therefore, Angela's profit on the selling of investment is $2,250.
