Answer:

b. $180

Explanation:

In the stock market the bib price is the price at which you buy shares, while the ask price is the price at which shares are sold. The cost of the transaction is the amount incurred by the buyer when he buys and sells immediately.

Transaction cost = 200(Ask price-Selling price)+ 2(Commision)

Transaction cost= 200(12.5-11.75) + 2(15)

Transaction cost= 200(0.75) + 30

Transaction cost= $180
