Suppose you bought 100 shares of stock at an initial price of $37 per share. The stock paid a dividend of $0.28 per share during the following year, and the share price at the end of the year was $41. (1) What is your total dollar return on this investment? (2) What is the percentage return on the investment?
Total dollar return=(End value-Beginning value+Dividend)*100 shares
=(41-37+0.28)*100
=$428
% return=Total dollar return/Beginning value
=428/(100*37)
=428/3700
=11.57%(Approx)
