Answer:

d. $344.22

Step-by-step explanation:

Timothy invested:

in February: 2 x $1,000 x 94.593% = $1,891.86

in June: 2 x $1,000 x 92.661% = $1,853.22

in August: $1,000 x 105.48% = $1,054.80

total investment = $4,799.88

he sold the 5 bonds in October at 102.882 each, so he received 5 x $1,000 x 102.882% = $5,144.10

his total profit = $5,144.10 - $4,799.88 = $344.22
