Capital Appreciation Calculator is a Python script that calculates the future returns of an investment position based on the number of shares, average cost, and future price projections. The script provides investors with a tool to estimate potential gains from their investments, taking into account the average cost of acquiring the shares and the projected future price of the asset.
- Calculates the future returns (capital appreciation gain) of an investment position.
- Allows users to input the number of shares, average cost per share, and projected future price per share.
- Supports calculations for different quantities of shares and average costs.
To use the Capital Appreciation Calculator, simply input the following values into the script:
num_shares: The number of shares in the investment position.avg_cost: The average cost per share.future_price: The projected future price per share.
The script will then calculate the future returns (capital appreciation gain) for the given inputs and display the result.
# Define input values for number of shares, average cost, and future price
num_shares = 2000
avg_cost = 15
future_price = 79.11
# Calculate and print the future returns for the given inputs
future_returns = calculate_future_returns(num_shares, avg_cost, future_price)
print(f"Future returns for {num_shares} shares with average cost ${avg_cost} and future price ${future_price}: ${future_returns:.2f}")
