1st Purchase

$5,000.00

[100 Shares X $50.00]

2nd Purchase

$1,000.00

[100 Shares X $10.00]

Total Shares

200 Shares

[100 Shares + 100 Shares]

Total Cost

$6,000.00

[$5,000.00 + $1,000.00]

Results (3 of 3)

Old Cost Basis

$50.00

[$5,000.00 / 100 Shares]

New Cost Basis

$30.00

[$6,000.00 / 200 Shares]

This changes the cost basis from $50.00 to $30.00 which is a difference $20.00 or 40.00%.

If the stock price recovers to the 1st purchase price of $50.00, the total value of the investment will become $10,000.00 from an initial investment of $6,000.00.

This would be a gain of $4,000.00 or 66.67%.
