Stock Profit

The profit from the sale of a stock can be calculated as follows:

  P r o f i t = ( ( N S × S P )     S C )   ( ( N S × P P ) + P C )

where NS is the number of shares, PP is the purchase price per share, PC is the purchase commission paid, SP is the sale price per share, and SC is the sale commission paid. If the calculation yields a positive value, then the sale of the stock resulted in a profit. If the calculation yields a negative number, then the sale resulted in a loss.

Write a method that accepts as arguments the number of shares, the purchase price per share, the purchase commission paid, the sale price per share, and the sale commission paid. The method should return the profit (or loss) from the sale of stock. Demonstrate the method in a program that asks the user to enter the necessary data and displays the amount of the profit or loss.

Interest Rates Savings accounts state an interest rate and a compounding period. If theamount deposited is P, the stated interest rate is r, and interest is compounded m timesper year, then the balance in the account after one year is P⋅(1+rm)m. For instance, if$1000 is deposited at 3% interest compounded quarterly (that is, 4 times per year), thenthe balance after one year is1000⋅(1+.034)4=1000⋅1.00754=$1,030.34.Interest rates with different compounding periods cannot be compared directly.The concept of APY (annual percentage yield) must be used to make the comparison. TheAPY for a stated interest rate r compounded m times per year is defined byAPY=(1+rm)m−1.(The APY is the simple interest rate that yields the same amount of interest after oneyear as the compounded annual rate of interest.) Write a program to compare interestrates offered by two different banks and determine the most favorable interest rate. SeeFig. 4.24.
Discrete Mathematics: Assignment details:  Replace all the 0 (Zero) digits in your ID by 4. Example: If your ID is 38104680, it becomes 38144684 Take the first 6 digits and substitute them in this expression (( A + B) / C) * ((D-E)/F)-2) according to the following table;                                                            Letter Replace by Digit Example Digit A 1st 3 B 2nd 8 C 3rd 1 D 4th 4 E 5th 4 F 6th 6   After substitution your expression will be similar to this (( 3 + 8) / 1) * ((4-4)/6)-2). Draw a rooted tree that represents your expression.                              What is the prefix form of this expression.                   3.What is the value of the prefix expression obtained in step 2 above?
Summary Interest on a credit card's unpaid balance is calculated using the average daily balance. Suppose that netBalance is the balance shown in the bill, payment is the payment made, d1 is the number of days in the billing cycle, and d2 is the number of days payment is made before billing cycle. Then, the average daily balance is: averageDailyBalance = (netBalance * d1 payme If the interest rate per month is, say, 0.0152, then the interest on the unpaid balance is: interest averageDailyBalance * 0.0152 Instructions Write a program that accepts as input netBalance, d1, payment, d2, and interest rate per month ( interestRate).
