Answer:

= 32.7%

Explanation:

Return on a stock is the sum of the dividends and the capital gains.

Capital gains = Sales value of stock - Cost of investment

                      = (158.29 -150.68 )× 100

                       = 761

Dividends =  4.69 ×100

                 =469

Cost of investment =150.68   ×100  

Return in %

                    = Total return / cost of stocks  ×100

                   =(761 + 469)/ (150.68   ×100 )  ×100

                   =8.2% for 3 months

Annualized return

                      =( 8.2 %/3 ) × 12

                       = 32.7%

Annualized return= 32.7%
