Matt invested $1500 into a stock of his choice. After two years, he had received $400 in dividends. He sold the stock and received a total of $1600. What is Matt's
rate of return on investment?

For this question, the time given confuses me.  I know the rate of return is just total return divided by divided by investment, Assuming that Matt received the $400 in dividends as cash payouts, and they weren't reinvested into buying shares of the stock, then his total return over two years was $500, Now, if Matt's dividends were reinvested into the stock - and if you have a 401(k) or IRA, that's what usually happens - then his ROI would have been only 6% because he only made a profit of $100 on an investment of $1500. Note:  In the real world, in current market conditions, Matt probably would have got about a 5% return on a good stock, and Bella would have received about 0.05% on a savings account.

hope this helped you ;)
