Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The total dollar return includes both the capital gains and the dividends received. The capital gain per share is $46.88 - $42.27 = $4.61. For 200 shares, the total capital gain is $4.61 * 200 = $922. The total dividend income is $7 * 200 = $1,400. Therefore, the total dollar return is $922 (capital gains) + $1,400 (dividends) = $2,322.
