Stock name: Gamma, Stock purchase date: 03/01/20, Number of Shares of Stock: 100, Stock Price: 50.5. Add newStock to dataStock. d. Print the information associated with newStock using printStock. e. Using the method requiredReturn, determine the rate of return required for your stock in Pitsco to have a value of $4,000 in 3 years. Print the result to the screen so that the user can clearly read the result.
