Question:

Arantxa Corporation made the following purchases of investments during 2017, the first year in which Arantxa invested in equity securities:
1. On January 15, purchased 9,000 shares of Nirmala Corp.'s common shares at $33.50 per share plus commission of $1,980.
2. On April 1, purchased 5,000 shares of Oxana Corp.'s common shares at $52.00 per share plus commission of $3,370.
3. On September 10, purchased 7,000 shares of WTA Corp.'s preferred shares at $26.50 per share plus commission of $2,910.
