Joel purchased 100 shares of stock for $27 per share. During the year, he received dividend checks amounting to $207.
Joel recently sold the stock for $36 per share.
Cost price of shares = 100 x 27
= $2,700
Sale price of shares = 100 x 36
= $3,600
Joel's return on the stock = Sale price of shares + Dividend received - Cost price of shares
= 3,600 + 207 - 2,700
= $1,107
Joel's return on the stock (%) = Absolute return/Cost price of shares
= 1,107/2,700
= 41%
