Answer:
Return on investment = -0.71%
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>.
Therefore, we can can compute the return on the investment as follows:
Total Return on investment =
(Capital gain/ loss + dividend )/purchase price × 100
Capital loss = (184 -140) × 120 = - 480
Dividend = 427
Commission = 34 + 39 =-73
Net loss on investment = - 480 - 73 + 427= -126
Return on investment = -126
/(148× 120) = -0.71%
Return on investment = -0.71%
