  1. 1800 * $3 = $5400 -- amount he paid

    1800 * $4.6 = $8200 -- amount he sold it for

    1800 * $0.8 = $1440 -- dividends

    Adding the sale price to the dividends -- $8200 + 1440 = $9640

    Next -- subtract the amount he paid from the amount he made -- $9640 - $5400 = $4240

    4240/5400 = 0.785 = 78.5% = his return on his investment
