Answer: The net value of the investment in Flax at year end = $2,500
Explanation: Given from the question
Year 1   Number of shares Purchased (sold)      Price per share  Â
February 3, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1,100 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $11
April 15, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 2,500 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $9
May 28, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (750) Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $13
July 5, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1,400 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $12
September 30, Â Â Â Â Â Â (4,000) Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â #15
From the given values above, we can see that
Total number of shares purchased for the year 1 = Â 1,100 + 2500 +1400= $5000
Total number of shares sold for the year 1 = 4000 + 750 = $4,750
Share  Balance = $5000 - $4,750 = $ 250
but flax is trading at $10 per share
Therefore the amount of net value of investment = $250 x $10 = $2,500
