An investor purchased a stock for $21.36 and sold it one year later for $28.99. The investor also received a dividend payment of $0.84. What was the investor's realized return? (Enter your answer as a decimal rounded to 4 decimal places, not a percentage. For example, enter .0153 instead of 1.53%.)
Realized return = (Sale price - Purchase price) + Dividend / Purchase price
Putting the given values in the above formula, we get,
Realized return = ($28.99 - $21.36) + $0.84 / $21.36
Realized return = $7.63 + $0.84 / $21.36
Realized return = $8.47 / $21.36 = 0.3965
