1- 750 shares x $11.06 per share =$8,295 + $12 commission =$8,307.00 - Cost of buying the 750 shares.

 

2- 750 shares x $10.24 per share =$7,680 - $12 commission =$7,668.00 - What she got for selling them.

 

3 - $8,307.00 - $7,668.00 =$639.00 her LOSS for the year.

 

4 - 1 - [$7,668 / $8,295] =7.56% - what she LOST as a percentage for the year.
