Answer 1

Answer:

26.78% ≈ 26.8%

Explanation:

Given:

Shares bought = 100

Buying price per share = $14

Total investment = $1400

Capital gain = $0.75 per share

Total capital gain = $0.75 × 100 = $75

Market value = $17

Thus,

Gain from increase in market value per share = $17 - $14 = $3

Therefore,

Total gain = $75 + $3 × 100 = $375

Total return = $\frac{\textup{Total gain}}{\textup{Total investment}}\times100\%$

= $\frac{\textup{375}}{\textup{1400}}\times100\%$

= 26.78% ≈ 26.8%
