of $120.01 four months ago. he sold all stocks today for $124.68
during the year the stock paid dividends of $5.18 per share what is
tom's effective annual rate
Answer:
Calculation of Effective Annual Rate for Mary :
Effective Rate of Return = (Capital Gain on stock + Dividend Received) / Initial Investment
Capital Gain = Sales - Purchase
=(100*$46.33) - (100*$47.49)
= - $116 (capital Loss)
DIvidend Received = 100*$2.45 = $245
Initial Investment = 100*$47.49 = $4749
Therefore Rate of Return ( for 6 months) = (-116 +245) / 4749
=0.02716 or 2.716 % (Multiply by 100 to convert in % )
Effective Annual Rate = Rate for 6 months * 2
= 2.716% * 2 = 5.433%
Therefore Effective Annual Rate for Return for Mary is 5.433%
Calculation of Effective Annual Rate for TOM :
Effective Rate of Return = (Capital Gain on stock + Dividend Received) / Initial Investment
Capital Gain = Sales - Purchase
=(100*$124.68) - (100*$120.01)
= $458
Dividend Received = 100*$5.18 = $518
Initial Investment = 100*$120.01 = $12001
Therefore Rate of Return ( for 4 months) = (458 +518) / 12001
=0.0813 or 8.13 % (Multiply by 100 to convert in % )
Effective Annual Rate = Rate for 4 months * 3
= 8.13% * 3 = 24.39%
Therefore Effective Annual Rate for Return for Tom is 24.39%
