Answer:
- after-tax average annual return = 14.41%
- after tax dividends per year = $38.88
Explanation:
initial investment = 30 shares x $72.49 per share = $2,174.70
- dividends received per year = 30 shares x $0.36 x 4 (dividends paid every quarter) = $43.20
after tax dividends per year = $43.20 x 90% = $38.88
- long term capital gains = (30 shares x $183 per share) - initial investment = $5,490 - $2,174.70 = $3,315.30
taxes on long term capital gains = $3,315.30 x 10% = $331.53
To calculate Mason and Kirsty's after tax average annual return (interest rate) we can use the excel spreadsheet =RATE function, where:
- PV = -2174.70
- FV = 5490 - 331.53 = 5158.47
- Pmt = 38.88
- Nper = 7
=RATE (nper, pmt, pv, [fv])
=RATE (7,38.88,-2174.70,5158.47) = 14.41%
