    The answer is: The investor received a 10% ($1000) return on his investment.

    Explanation:

    Lets say the investor bought $10,000 worth of stocks on January 1, 2020. On December 31, 2020, he received a $400 dividend and sold his stocks for $10,600.

    That means that at the beginning of 2020 the investor had $10,000 and by the end of the year he had $11,000. To calculate the return of investment (ROI) we do the following:

    ROI = [ ($11,000 / $10,000) - 1 ] x 100 = 10%
