Question: Finding stock dividend?

I need help! I know this is probably easy but I'm not Finding the missing information.

A financial advisor claims that a particular stock earned a total return of 10% last year.During that year the stock price rose from $30 to $32.50. What dividend did the stock pay?

Answer:

Jesus, is this a math question? If so, $33 - 30 = 10% return. Since the stock rose to $32.50 that means the dividend was 50 cents. Like John Wayne said, "Life is hard, but it's even harder when you're stupid."

Around $3. It depends on what price the dividend yield is being quoted.

If it returned 10% on the base of $30 during the year then the total return was $3.00 3/30 = 10%. The price rise was 2.50 so the dividend had to be $0.50 2.50 + 0.50 = 3.00
