Solution

To find the new value of the shares, we first need to calculate the increase in value.

  1. We know that the shares increased in value by 400%. This means that the shares increased by 4 times their original value.

  2. To find the increase in value, we multiply the original value of the shares by 4. So, 32404=3240 * 4 = 12,960.

  3. To find the new value of the shares, we add the increase in value to the original value. So, 3240+3240 + 12,960 = $16,200.

So, the new value of the shares is $16,200.
