The stock price per share was $8.60

Number of shares bought 1000

Total price for the shares:

(Cost per share) * (Number of shares)

=8.60*1000

=$8600

The stock price after 1 year $9.15

Total number of shares is 1000

Current price = (current share price) * (number of shares)

9.15*1000

=$9150

current value = (Current price) - (buying price)

=9150-8600

=$550

Net Profit = (Current value) - (Expenses)

=550-14

=$536
