Answer:
Real rate of return= 13.7%
Explanation:
<em>The return on investment is the sum of the dividends earned and capital gains made during the holding period of the investment.
</em>
<em>Dividend is the proportion of the profit made by a company which is paid to shareholders. </em>
<em>Capital gains is another type of the return made on an equity investment as a result of increase in the value of the shares. It is difference between the cost of the share and the value at the time of disposal.
</em>
<em>Therefore, we can can compute the return on the investment as follows:
</em>
The total return = (2.90) + (65.60-60)= 8.5
To determine the real return, we adjust the nominal return for the impact of inflation as follows:
Real total return ($) = 8.5/1.034=8.220
Total return in (%) = (8.220
/60)× 100= 13.7%
