The price of the stock on Monday when they were bought is
$4. It crashes by 15% on Tuesday to reach $4*(1 – 15%) =
$4*0.85.
The price recovers by 5% over the rest of the
week. For three days the price rises 5% everyday so the price at the end of the week
is:
$4*0.85*(1.05)^3 =
$3.93
For the original price of $4 at which the stock was
bought the price at the end of the week is $3.93.The investor’s loss is (4 – 3.93)*100/4
= 1.75%
Therefore the investor has not made a
profit but a loss of 1.75%
