Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Identify the applicable fee - schedule
Jared's portfolio value is $200,000 which is less than $250,000. For automated telephone trades with a portfolio value less than $250,000, the fee is the online fee plus $10.50. The online fee for a portfolio value less than $250,000 is $15 per trade. So the total fee per automated telephone trade is $15 + $10.50.
Step2: Calculate the total fee per trade
$15+ 10.50=$25.50$
Step3: Calculate the total broker - fee for the year
Jared made 12 automated telephone trades. So the total broker - fee is the fee per trade times the number of trades. $25.50\times12$. $25.50\times12 = 306$
Answer:
$306$
