What will be your rate of return if the price of Telecom stock goes up by 5% during the next year

Respuesta :

Answer: 7%

Explanation:

The following can be deduced.from the question:

Loan amount = $9,600

Equity = $9,600

Market price = $48 per share

Total investment = $19,200

Growth of Investment = 5%.

We then calculate value of the investment in a year. This.will be:

= 19,200 × 1.05

= $20,160

Interest on the loan would be:

= $9,600 * 0.03

= $288

Therefore, rate of return will be:

= (20,160 - 9,600 - 288)/9,600 - 1

= 0.07 = 7%
