Assuming we are a shareholder of a company that has been issuing rights,bonus issue and dividend,do we know how to compute our overall returns versus our initial investment.
Append below is such a scenario to understand our current total returns versus our initial investment. In turn,we compare this investment to next alternative investment to see whether we have invested wisely.

Scenario:
Assuming that a shareholder had acquired 1,000 shares at par at the inception of the Company in 1971 and subscribed for the rights issue and received all bonus issues,his/her returns and market value of such investment as at 31 December 2005 would be:-

# Assumption of issue of exact lots for illustrative purposes only
In view of the foregoing,we can conclude that:
A $1,000 investment made in 1971,and a further $500 investment in 1973,would have generated a total capital value of $180,563 and a total gross dividend of $154,425 as at 31 December 2005.

Had we placed the equivalent investment of RM1,000 and $500 in 1971 and 1973 respectively in a fixed deposit at an annual interest rate of 5%,compounded annually,the amount in the bank would be $7,755 as at end of 2005
