Answer: 7%
Explanation:
The following can be deduced.from the question:
Loan amount = $9,600
Equity = $9,600
Market price = $48 per share
Total investment = $19,200
Growth of Investment = 5%.
We then calculate value of the investment in a year. This.will be:
= 19,200 × 1.05
= $20,160
Interest on the loan would be:
= $9,600 * 0.03
= $288
Therefore, rate of return will be:
= (20,160 - 9,600 - 288)/9,600 - 1
= 0.07 = 7%
