Answer:
Percentage return on investment= 8.62 %
Explanation:
Return on investment is the amount that an investor gains after investing in a particular business venture. Percentage return on investment is calculated as gain from a business venture divided by the initial investment.
Percentage return on investment= (Gain ÷ Initial investment) * 100
Gain on share price= 48.30 - 46.40 = $1.90
Gain from dividend= 2 * 1.05= $2.10
Total gain = 1.90 + 2.10 = $4
Therefore
Percentage return on investment= (4 ÷ 46.40) * 100
Percentage return on investment= 8.62 %
So the gain on initial investment of the 400 shares is 8.62%
Answer:
The total percentage return on this investment is 8.62%
Explanation:
Given the initial investment is 400 shares * 46.40 = $18,560 and the purchase of those shares were "eight month ago"
The company pays quarterly dividends of $1/05 per share. So, that in between 8 month, these are 2 Quarters
Thus Dividend amount= 400 * 1.05 * 2 Quarters= $840
Capital gains= Sales value - Purchase price
= 400 * 48.30 - 18,560
= 19,320 - 18,560
= $760
Therefore total percentage return on this investment will be derived by (Dividend + Capital) / Initial Investment * 100
= (840 + 760)/18560 * 100
= 8.62%
