Mr. Oduste owns two kinds of stock shares: r shares of stock x and r shares of stock y. stock x yields an annual dividend of 2%, while stick y yields an annual dividend of 6%. If mr. Oduste were to sell all of his shares of stock x and use that money to buy shares of stock y, by what percent would his annual dividend increase.

Ok, He has equal shares (r) of stocks 'X' and 'Y'.

Assume he has 100 shares of each.

Total cost of share X = 100X , where 'X' is cost of one.
Total cost of share Y = 100Y, where 'Y' is cost of one share.

After one year, X would yield 102X and Y would yield 106Y.

Statement 1

X costs twice as much as Y; X = 2Y.

If he were to sell the 100 shares of 'X', he can now buy 200 stocks of 'Y'. (or) now have a total of 300 'Y' stocks.
Now X costs twice as much as Y, assume any value for 'Y', say 1. X would be 2.

Originally he would have got 102*2 = 204 from X and 106*1 = 106 from 'Y' had he invested 300 in total (200-X and 100-Y)
Now his returns would be 310.

If he had invested all 300 in Y, his returns would be 318 now. So we can determine the % change here. Sufficient.

Statement 2:

Y costs $45. Here we don't know cost of 'X' and we cannot find how many 'Y' stocks he can buy selling all his 'X'. Insuff.
A IMO
