    Hi,

    Can you show how you work out Q1 ME.

    ABC Co has just paid a dividend of 24 cents per share and it’s current share price one year ago was $3.60. The total shareholder return for the year was 23.3%

    TIA

    The total shareholder return over a year = (dividend + increase in share price) / share price at the start of the year.

    Since the return is 23.3%, then dividend + increase in share price = 23.3% x $3.60 = $0.84

    The dividend during the year is $0.24, therefore the share price increase must be $0.84 – $0.24 = $0.60

    Therefore the current share price = 3.60 + 0.60 = $4.20.
