What was Apex total return from investing in Michelin stock

Solutions

Expert Solution

Buying Price = € 74 per share

Selling Price= €81 Per Share

Dividend = € 2.40 per share

Total Return = (Selling Price +Dividend - Buying Price)

Total Return = (81 +2.40 - 74)

Total Return = € 9.40

If the euro is declined in relation to dollar, so the investment return will appreciate for the investors because investor originally belongs to the USA and had investment in Paris. So the investment will appreciate by 2.7% for investor.

Total Return = 9.40 x 102.7 / 100

Total Actual Return = € 9.65.
