EXAMPLE: Suppose you bought 150 shares of stock at

$2.50 per share last year. The corporation paid a $.15 dividend per share for the year. At the end of the year, you sold the stock for $3.00 per share. What was the total return on this investment if you disregard fees? What rate of return did you earn on your initial investment? 150 Shares x $2.50/share = $375 initial investment 150 shares x $.15 dividend = $22.50 total dividend 150 shares x $3.00 per share = $450 price of stock sold $450 price of stock sold - $375 initial = $75 capital gain $75 capital gain + $22.50 total dividend = $97.50 total

return $97.50 total return / $375 initial = 0.26 = 26% return
