To get the total percentage
return, subtract first the value of the shares bought from the total selling
price and add the dividend value.
Shares
bought: $49.65 x 100 = $4,965
Total
selling price: $43.30 x 100 = $4,330
Dividend:
$.64 x 100 = $64
Return:
$4,330 - $4,965 + 64 = -$571
Note
that the value is negative, it means that there’s loss.
To
get the percentage, divide the loss to the value of the shares bought.
Percentage
= -$571 / $4,965 = -0.1150 or e.) -11.50%
