Calculating Returns Suppose a stock had an initial price of $92 per share‚ paid a dividend of $1.45 per share during the year‚ and had an ending share price of $104. Compute the percentage total return. The return of any asset is the increase in price‚ plus any dividends or cash flows‚ all divided by the initial price. The return of this stock is: R = [($104 – 92) + 1.45] / $92 R = 0.1462 or 14.62% Calculating Returns Rework the problem above‚ but this time assuming the ending
