Answer:

Annual Rate of Return = 12%

Effective Annual Rate of Return = 9.6%

Explanation:

Nominal Annual Rate of return = [tex]\frac{Dividend\: per\: share\: for\: each\: year}{Par\: price\:per\:share} \times 100[/tex]

Annual Dividend per share = $3 per quarter [tex]\times[/tex] 4 = $12 per share

Current price per share = $125

Par Price per share = $100

Thus Annual Rate of return = $12/$100 = 12%

Effective Annual Rate of Return = [tex]\frac{Dividend\: per\: share\: for\: each\: year}{Current\: price\:per\:share} \times 100[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{12}{125} \times 100[/tex] = 9.6%
