You purchased 100 shares of Intel stock at a price of $87.25. The stock paid a dividend of $1.15 per share, and the stock is currently priced at $94.86 at the end of the year. What was your dollar return on this investment?

Rate of Return on Investment

= {Dividend per share + (Stock price @ the end of the year - Stock purchase price)} / Stock Purchase Price

= {1.15 + (94.86 87.25)} / 87.25

= 10.04 %

Dollar Return on Investment

= Initial Investment * Rate of Return on Investment

= (100*87.25) * 10.04%

= $ 875.99= $876
