Ans:

investor's realized return = 18.68%

Explanation

Realized return = ((sell price - buy price) * number of shares) + (dividend * number of shares)

                         = (($53.25 - $45.5) * 1000) + ($0.75 * 1000)

                         = ($7.75 * 1000) + ($0.75 * 1000)

                         = $7750 + $750

                         = $8500

Investment = buy price * number of shares

                   = $45.5 * 1000

                   = $45500

investor's realized return = (Realized return / Investment) * 100

                                         = ($8500 / $45500) * 100

                                         = 18.68%
