Between June 1 and June 30, 2000?

What was the percent increase of Company A’s stock between June 1 and June 30, 2000?

1. The stock gained $5 in value during June 2000.

2. The stock rose 12% during the first half of the month.

What is OA? IMO E.

The statements, together as well as alone, do not give enough information to answer the question. To determine the percent change, we would need one of the additional pieces of information:

a. The beginning stock price for the month.

b. The ending stock price for the month.

c. The percent change in the stock for the second half of the month.
