Dollar & Percent ReturnReturns are made up of two components:Cash you receive while you own the asset (interest or dividends).Change in value of the asset, capital gain or loss.Dollar return is the sum of the cash received and the change in value of the asset, in dollars.Percentage return is sum of the cash received and the change in value of the asset divided by the original investment.
The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000Irwin/McGraw-Hill
Percent ReturnsPercent returns tells you how much you receive for every dollar invested.Two components:Dividend yield: current dividend divided by the beginning price.Capital gains yield: the change in price divided by the beginning price.The two components equal the total percentage return.

Calculating ReturnsSuppose you buy 100 shares of Wal-Mart (WMT) today at $25. Over the year, you get $20 in dividends. At the end of the year, the stock sells for $30. How did you do?Not bad. You invested $25 x 100 = $2,500. At the end of the year, you have stock worth $3,000 and cash dividends of $20. Your dollar gain was $520.Your percent gain, or return, for the year is $520/$2,500 = 20.8%.
