    Decimal total dollar denominated return is 0.50

    Explanation:

    The dollar purchase price of the stock = 100/1.4*$1

    =71.42857143 * $1

    =$71.42857143

    today's dollar selling price = 120/1.12*$1

    =107.1428571 * $1

    =$107.1428571

    Dollar denominated total return in money terms=$107.1428571 - $71.42857143

    =$35.71428571

    However the dollar-denominated return in percentage terms is computed the below formula

    dollar denominated return % = (today's price-initial price) / initial price

    = ($107.1428571 - $71.42857143) / $71.42857143

    =0.50 which represents 50%
