Question

One year ago, you purchased 162 shares of Best Wings stock at a price of $39.44 per share. The company pays an annual dividend of $0.79 per share. Today, you sold for the shares for $38.03 a share. What is your total percentage return on this investment?

Answer 1

the total percentage return on this investment is -1.57%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the total percentage return on this investment is shown below:

The total return Per Share is

= [(Price at End - Price at Beginning) + Dividend ]

= [($38.03 - $39.44) + $0.79]

= -0.62

Now the total percentage return on this investment is

= Total return per share ÷ initial investment × 100

= -$0.62 / $39.44 × 100

=-1.57%

Hence, the total percentage return on this investment is -1.57%
