Use the following information to calculate a stock’s one-year Return on Investment (calculate to the nearest single decimal point): Selling price: $50/share Dividends received during the year: $1/share Purchase price: $45/share Discount brokerage fee: $25 Number of shares owned: 200

10.8%

Explanation:

The return received on the asset in the period in which it is held is called holding period return. It included the interest / dividend received and change in the Purchase price and Selling price.

According to given data

Dividend received = $1 x 200 = $200

Purchase Value = 200 x $45 = $9,000

Sale Value = 200 x $50 = $10,000

Selling Price = 1,047.64

HPR = Dividend + [ ( Sale Value - Purchase Value ) - Brokerage Fee ) / Purchase value ]

HPR = $ + [ ( $10,000 - $9,000 ) - $25 ) / $9,000 ] = 0.108 = 10.8%

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
