Solutions

Expert Solution

Investor's own money = 94/2 = $47

Borrowing = 94-47 = $47

Interest on Borrowing = 47*10% = $4.7

Total Profit = Selling Price-Purchase Price+Dividend = 132-94+0.7 = $38.7

Return on Investment = [Total Profit-Interest on Borrowing]/Own Money = [38.7-4.7]/47 = 34/47 = 0.723404 = 72.3404%
