Answer:

Jennifer

The return on investment of the Gamma stock is:

a) 7%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

January 1, 20X1 Purchase of common stock of Gamma Corporation = $100,000

Dividend received from Gamma Corporation stock = $3,000

December 31, 20X1, Sale of Gamma Corporation stock = $104,000

Capital gains from the sale of Gamma stock = $4,000 ($104,000 - $100,000)

Total returns from the Gamma stock = Dividend Plus Capital Gains

= $7,000 ($3,000 + $4,000)

Return on investment of the Gamma stock = 7% ($7,000/$100,000 * 100)
