Create file named as ShareCalculation.py and copy the below code:

#program to Show Calculation for Shares

def ShareCalculation():

    numberOfShares = 2000     #number of shares Joe bought

    purchasePrice = 40.00     #Puchase price of the share

    commissionPercentage = 3 # commission percentage of broker

    sellingPrice = 42.75      # Selling price of the share

   

    # total purchase price is number of shares * purchase price

    totalPurchasePrice = numberOfShares * purchasePrice

   

    # commision for buying the share is 3% of the total purchase price

    commissionForBuying = totalPurchasePrice * (commissionPercentage /100)

   

    # total Selling price is number of shares * selling price

    totalSellingPrice = numberOfShares * sellingPrice

   

    # commision for buying the share is 3% of the total selling price

    commissionForSelling = totalSellingPrice * (commissionPercentage/100)

   

    #left amount is total selling Price - commission paid to broker for selling

    leftAmount = totalSellingPrice - commissionForSelling

   

    print("The amount of money Joe paid for the stock: " + str(totalPurchasePrice))

    print("The amount of commission Joe paid his broker when he bought the stock: " + str(commissionForBuying))

    print("The amount for which Joe sold the stock: " + str(totalSellingPrice))

    print("The amount of commission Joe paid his broker when he sold the stock: " + str(commissionForSelling))

    print("The amount of money that Joe had left when he sold the stock and paid his broker: " + str(leftAmount))
