You will find the purchase price in large bold numbers in the top left corner.  To find the number of shares purchased look in the column fourth to the right of the share price.

Answer 2

Go to Yahoo finance and key in V.  That will give you the current price.  I assume you are working with a fixed amount to invest.  Divide that amount by the current price to arrive at the number of shares that could be purchased with that amount. Drop the decimals.  Then mulitple the number of shares by the current price to give the total amount that the whole number of shares will cost less commissions.
