Answer:

Initial  net worth = $40* 500= $20000

a) Net worth of brokerage account = 44 * 500 = $22000

   Percentage increase in the net worth of your brokerage account=[22000-20000]/20000  * 100= 10%

b) Net worth of brokerage account = 40 * 500 = $20000

   Percentage increase in the net worth of your brokerage account=[20000-20000]/20000  * 100= 0%

c)If XTel's price changes to $36, the net worth of the brokerage account can be calculated as follows:

Net worth of brokerage account = 36 * 500 = $18,000.

Percentage decrease in the net worth of your brokerage account=[18000-20000]/20000  * 100= -10%
