Answer:

14.29%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of shares purchased= 200

Purchase price per share= $70

Year end price = $80

Total Investment cost = 200 shares * $70 per shares = $14,000

Percentage return earned on investment = Number of shares * (Year end price - Purchase price) / Investment

= 200 * ($80 - $70) / $14,000

= $2,000 / $14,000

= 0.142857

= 14.2857%

= 14.29%
