    To get the total percentage return, subtract first the value of the shares bought from the total selling price and add the dividend value.

    Shares bought: $49.65 x 100 = $4,965

    Total selling price: $43.30 x 100 = $4,330

    Dividend: $.64 x 100 = $64

    Return: $4,330 - $4,965 + 64 = - $571

    Note that the value is negative, it means that there’s loss.

    To get the percentage, divide the loss to the value of the shares bought.

    Percentage = - $571 / $4,965 = - 0.1150 or e.) - 11.50%
