Question

You purchased a share of SPCC for $100 and expect to receive a dividend of $5 in one year. If you expect the price after the dividend is paid to be $110, what total return will you have earned over the year

Answer 1

The answer is 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

(P1 - Po) / Po + D

Where P1 is the price of the share at the end of the year

Po is the price of the share at the beginning of the year

D is the Dividend receceived

P1 is $110

Po is $100

And Dividend is 5%

($110 - $100) / $100 + 5 %

$10/100 + 5%

10% + 5%

= 15%

The total return will you have earned over the year for the purchase of a share of SPCC is 15%
