Solution
Solution Steps
To find the total purchase price, we need to multiply the number of shares by the purchase price per share.
Step 1: Calculate Total Purchase Price
To find the total purchase price, we use the formula:
\[
\text{Total Purchase Price} = \text{Number of Shares} \times \text{Purchase Price per Share}
\]
Substituting the given values:
\[
\text{Total Purchase Price} = 40 \times 60 = 2400
\]
