    5.22%

    Explanation:

    Dividend per share = $8

    Loss on sales per share = Purchase price - Sales price - = $115 - $113 = - $2

    Total return per share = Dividend per share - Loss on sales per share

    = $8 - $2 = $6

    Overall Economic Rate of Return = (Total return per share : purchase price) * 100

    Overall Economic Rate of Return = ($6 : $115) * 100

    = 5.217391304347830

    = 5.22% approximately

    Therefore, the overall Economic Rate of Return for this investment is 5.22%.
