1) What is the holding period return (percentage return on this investment) to an investor who bought 100 shares of Charter Oil nine months ago for $36 a share, received two $50 dividend checks, and sold the stock today at $38 a share?
Number of shares= 100
Purchase price of share= $36
Amount paid for purchase of shares= $3,600 =100 x $36.
Selling price of share= $38
Amount received for sale of shares= $3,800 =100 x $38.

Total amount received= $3,900 =$3,800. + $100.
