Kathy myers frequently purchases stocks and bonds, but she is uncertain how to determine the rate of return that she is earning. for example, three years ago she paid $20,000 for 940 shares of malti company’s common stock. she received a $752 cash dividend on the stock at the end of each year for three years. at the end of three years, she sold the stock for $23,000. kathy would like to earn a return of at least 13% on all of her investments. she is not sure whether the malti company stock provided a 13% return and would like some with the necessary computations. (ignore income taxes.)

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
