Ronald Hammond · Answer 1

B. x $15

Step-by-step explanation:

The "or" in the problem statement gives you a clue that answer choices C and D can be rejected.

If x is the stock value, then value per share "below $5" means x <$5. This corresponds with answer choice B. Of course, "above $15" means x> $15, also corresponding to answer choice B.
