Total Capital Investment: RM10,000 (include RM1000 cash) beginning of 2014
Total Share value as 31 Dec 14: Rm13,000
Part A
What will be the return for year 2014
(1) (RM13000 - RM10000)/RM10000 = 30%
or
(2) RM(13000-9000)/RM9000 = 44.4% ?
Part B
At Jan 15, add RM1000 and now total capital investment is RM11000 (include RM2000 cash)
Total Share value as 31 Jan 15: Rm16,000
What will be the return for Jan 15
(1) = RM(16000-13000)/RM11000 = 27%
or
(2) = (RM16000-RM13000)/RM10000 = 30%
Which One more accurate?
Anyone can advise?

For Part B - there are 2 types of return that can be calculated, namely either time weighted or money weighted return, each will carry different rate of return. I guess you can calculate this yourself using results of part A...

If you view your cash + stock as an entire portfolio and you have a mandate to deploy available cash to generate return, then method A is meaningful. Having said this, it would also be relevant to the investor of it's return from invested funds solely. In this case, I recommend market value at the time of assessment less cost of investment at the beginning of the period, less by 1. That result would have been return on invested fund for the period is assessment.

Sorry referring to my post above, I meant to say market value divided by cost of investment. Not minus

Part A ; equity return (let's assume 10% interest p.a. on borrowing):-
Return = Next Cash in hand (after debt repayment)/ Cash outlay
= (13,000 - 9,000 - 900) / 1000 = 310%
