Answer:
A. 183.71
Step-by-step explanation:
Original investment in stock plan = $5175
Increase in the first year of investment in stock plan = 9% of $5175
= 0.09 ( $5175)
= $465.75
then new value of investment in stock plan = $5175 + $465.75 = $5640.75
Loss in the investment of stock plan = 5% of $5640.75
= 0.05 ( $5640.75)
= $282.0375
then new value of investment in stock plan = $5640.75 - $282.0375 = $5358.7125
Now let's find difference between latest value and the original value of investment
$5358.7125 - $5175 = $183.7125
Hence choice A. 183.71 is correct.
