The total return for this investment if you were to sell it now is 29.04%

Explanation:

The total return on the investment=total share capital gain+Total value now-Total value one year/total value one year

Total share capital gain=$0.42*100=$42

Total value now=$17*100=$1,700

Total value one year ago=$13.50*100=$1,350

Total return on the mutual fund = ($42+$1700-$1,350) / $1350

Total return on the mutual fund=$392 / $1350=29.04%
