Dollar return of US Bancorp = $7.69

Explanation:

A Dollar return of US Bancorp = $36.19 - $29.89 + $1.39 = $7.69

Total Dollar return of US Bancorp = $7.69 * 200 = $1,538

Percentage return of US Bancorp percentage return = ($7.69/$29.89) * 100 = 25.72%

B Dollar loss of Hilton Hotels = $13.12 - $13.31 = - $0.19

Total Dollar loss of Hilton Hotels = - $0.19 * 300 = - $57.00

Percentage loss of Hilton Hotels = (-$0.19/$13.31) * 100 = 1.43%

C Dollar return of Hilton Hotels = $34.90 - $24.11 + $0.16 = $10.95

Total Dollar return of Hilton Hotels = $10.95 * 250 = $2,737.50

Percentage return of Hilton Hotels = ($10.95/$24.11) * 100 = 45.42%
