The capital gain the investor earned on this investment can be calculated by subtracting the initial purchase price from the selling price.
Purchase price = $5 per share
Selling price = $6.50 per share
Number of shares = 50
Capital Gain = (Selling price - Purchase price) * Number of shares
Capital Gain = ($6.50 - $5) * 50
Capital Gain = $1.50 * 50
Capital Gain = $75
Therefore, the investor earned a capital gain of $75 on this investment.
