Answer:

$1,679.

Explanation:

In the beginning they payed 4,600 dollars for their stocks.  They made 6,200 dollars after one year.  You will need to subtract the amount they payed from what they made.  this comes out to be $1,600.  Then subtract the brokers commission (32+41).  Once you do this the amount is $1,527.  Finally add the dividend (152) which gets you to 1,679 dollars.
