Answer 1

So, the maximum price per share that should place is $62.5

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given data

Current Price of stock = $50

Numbers of share = 200 shares

Limit of loss = $2,500

We will use the following formula to calculate the Maximum price of stock

Total Maximum loss possible = [ ( Prefix Price of share - Current price of share ) x Numbers of shares of stock ]

$2,500 = [ ( Prefix Price of share - $50 ) x 200 ]

$2500 / 200 = Prefix Price of share - $50

$12.5 + $50 = Prefix Price of share

$62.5 = Prefix Price of share

Therefore, thee order will be stopped at $62.50
