    For Marla,

    Number of shares purchased is 100 @ $8 per share

    Initial Position = 100 * 8 = $800

    Dividends Received = $200

    Brokerage Paid = 75 + 75 = $150

    Current Value of Stock = $7

    Current Position for 100 shares @ $7 per share

    Current Position = $700

    Holding Period Return = Profit/Initial Investment

    Holding Period Return = ((700 - 800) - 150 + 200) / 800

    Holding Period Return = - 6.25%
