<PRE><B>Question 1056060</B>
 Susan bought 600 shares of stock at a price of $21.77 per share. She must pay the stock broker a 2 percent commission for the transaction. 
What is the minimal price for the stocks she would need to make a profit if she were to sell the stocks? (Assume she will not pay a commission when she sells the stock.) 
How do I solve this? 
Cost before commission:: 21.77
Cost including 2% commission:: 1.02*21.77 = $22.21
--------------------
Minimal price to make a profit:: price &gt; 22.21 per share
