I have develped a spreadsheet to assist me in my stock trading. I have one
column that I need to set up to calculate the commission rate. It took me
a
couple of years to get the basic calculations information figured out back
in
1998 and it has helped me a great deal when used on all my accounts. But,
I
still lack the expertise in some calculation functions. I would greatly
appreciate anyones assistance. Given information follows:

Commision rate is equal to $7.00. If though by multiplying 5% of the total
price, that figure exceeds the $7.00 standard rate, then additional
commission is $0.005 per share that exceeds 1000 shares.
