The stock price for JSR in April was 49.08. If this fell by 7% in May, then we would have the following;

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{April}=49.08 \\ \text{May}=49.08-(49.08\times0.07) \\ \text{May}=49.08-3.44 \\ \text{May}=45.64 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Also, if the price fell by 7% in June, we would have the following as well;

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{May}=45.64 \\ \text{June}=45.64-(45.64\times0.07) \\ \text{June}=45.64-3.19 \\ \text{June}=42.45 \end{gathered}[/tex]
