Question:
"Let’s say you bought 100 shares of Apple (AAPL) at $150 a share, then a year later, the company announced a cash dividend of $0.90 per share, and at the same time, the stock price skyrocketed to $180. Calculate the total return on your investment in dollar terms, then calculate the percentage of the total return over the year."
Model answer for training:
· Gain from price increase: (180 - 150) × 100 = $3,000.
· Gain from dividends: 0.90 × 100 = $90.
· Total dollar return: 3,000 + 90 = $3,090.
· Percentage of total return: (3,090 ÷ 15,000) × 100 = 20.6%.
