Compute the rate of return on this investment in terms of U.S. dollars.?


Mr. James K. Silber, an avid international investor, just sold a share of Nestle, a Swiss firm, for SF 5,080. The share was bought for SF 4,600 a year ago. The exchange rate is SF 1.60 per U.S. dollar now and was SF 1.78 per dollar a year ago. Mr. Silber rceieved SF 120 as a cash dividend immediately before the share was sold.

Hi Heather, that's not an investing question, it's arithmetic.
cost = 4600/1.78
sale = (5080+120)/1.6
profit = sale-cost
Rate of return = profit/cost * 100%
