Chapter 4, Problem 40RE
Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) Duffin House, Higgins Press, and Sickle Publications all went public on the same day recently. John O’Hagan had the opportunity to participate in all three initial public offerings (partly because he and Marjory Duffin are good friends). He made a considerable profit when he sold all of the stock 2 days later on the open market. The following table shows the purchase price and percentage yield on the investment in each company:
| Purchase Price per Share ($) | Yield (%) | |
| Duffin House (DHS) | 8 | 20 |
| Higgins Press (HPR) | 10 | 15 |
| Sickle Publications (SPUB) | 15 | 15 |
He invested $20,000 in a total of 2,000 shares and made a $3,400 profit from the transactions. How many shares in each company did he purchase?
