Question

One year ago, Peyton purchased 7,200 shares of Broncos stock for $329,640. Today, he sold those shares for $58.92 a share. What is the total return on this investment if the dividend yield is 2.2 percent

Answer 1

30.90%

Step-by-step explanation:

total return = dividend yield + price appreciation

price appreciation = (current price per share / previous price per share) - 1

Previous price per share = $329,640 / 7,200 = $45.78

price appreciation = ( $58.92 / $45.78) - 1 = 0.287 = 28.70%

total return = 28.70% + 2.2% = 30.90%
