Four months ago, you purchased 1,300 shares of lakeside bank stock for $23.32 a share. you have received dividend payments equal to $.61 a share. today, you sold all of your shares for $24.32 a share. what is your total dollar return on this investment?

If I purchased 1,300 shares of lakeside bank stock for $23.32 a share. The total worth of the share is 1, 300 * 23.32 = $30, 316. Okay I received payments dividend worth 0.61 a share; that becomes 0.61 * 23.32 = $14.2252. I sold 1, 300 shares for $24.32. So I sold it for 1, 300 * 24.32 = $31616. My total return = (Amount I sold the share + dividend received) - Amount I bought the share. So we have (31616 + 14.2552) - 30316 = $31630.2552 - $ 30, 316 = $1314.2552

Apotato i'm guessing?

The federal reserve took an expansionary approach during the crisis. this was done by expanding the money supply and boosting liquidity. this can be seen in the fed's actions of lending to banks, purchasing securities, and lowering the federal funds rate in order to lower overall interest rates. the fed's goal was to increase consumer spending and overall liquidity within the system, and they pursued this by expanding the supply of liquid money.
