Computation of the effective annual required return:-

Required return = Annual dividend / Current price

= $0.4 * 2 / $8

= $0.8 / $8

= 10%

Correct option is b) 10.00%

 

Computation of the total percentage return:-

Total return = (Selling price + Dividends - Purchase price) / Purchase price

= ((1,000 * $50) + (1,000 * $1.20) - (1,000 * $40)) / (1,000 * $40)

= ($50,000 + $1,200 - $40,000) / $40,000

= $11,200 / $40,000

= 28%

Correct option is c) 28.00%
