    After tax Return is $3.50

    After tax rate of return is 7.00%

    Explanation:

    Purchase Price = $50

    Price at the end of the year = $50

    Dividend Received = $5

    Return on share = Dividend + Gain on share price

    Return on share = $5 + ($50 - $50)

    Return on share = $5 + $0

    Return on share = $5

    After tax return = $5 x (1 - 0.3) = $5 x 0.7 = $3.5

    Rate of return on share = (Total return / purchase price) x 100

    Rate of return on share = ($3.5 / $50) x 100

    Rate of return on share = 7%
