Three weeks ago john bought stock at 49 1/4; today the stock is valued at 49 7/8. we could say the stock is performing at which of the following?
a. on par
b. par equality
c. above par
d. below par

Rate at which John bought the stock 3 weeks ago = 49 1/4
                                                                                = 197/4
Rate at which John sold the stock today = 49 7/8
                                                                = 399/8
Amount of loss or gain made by John = (399/8) - (197/4)
                                                             = (399 - 394)/8
                                                             = 5/8
So, we can say that the stock performed a bit above par. the correct option is option "C".

20000 as first it increases by 2500 then by 5000 so next it will increase by 10000
