Answer:

return in dollars: 2.38

rate of retrun: 6.35%

Explanation:

there are two returns:

one is the dividends cash flow of $ 0.6

and the other is the capital gain:

current market price - cost: 39.28 - 37.5 = $ 1.78

total return in dollars: $ 2.38

[tex]\frac{return}{cost} = $Rate of Return[/tex]

2.38/37.50 = 0,06346667 = 6.35%
