You short-sell 100 shares of Tuckerton Trading Co., now selling for $44 per share. What is your maximum possible gain, ignoring transactions cost

$4,400

Explanation:

Calculation for the maximum possible gain, ignoring transactions cost

Using this formula

Maximum possible gain = Sale proceeds - Cost of purchasing the share

Let plug in the formula

Maximum possible gain = (100 shares *$44 per shares)- (100 shares *0) = 14000

Maximum possible gain=$4,400-0

Maximum possible gain=$4,400

Therefore the maximum possible gain, ignoring transactions cost will be $4,400

a recipe serves 8 people, and calls for 5 lbs of apples and 2 cups of flour. you want to prepare it for 24 people. divide 24 by 8 to get 3, and then multiply your ingredients by 3.
