Answer:
B) –2%
Explanation:
The total return on an investment is calculated by,
Total Return = Capital gains ÷ Initial Investment x 100
First we will have to calculate capital gains of his investment,
He got 600 in dividends and 4,300 after selling the stock against the initial investment of $5,000.
So capital gains,
= 600 + 4,300 - 5,000
= -100
Total Return would be,
= -100 / 5,000 x 100
= -2% is the total return on his investment.
