• Step (a): Record the last closing price (for example, previous close - yesterday's closing price)

• Step (b): Record the change (current price minus previousclose) for the day (up or down and how many dollars & cents)

• Step (c): Divide your change for the day (from b above) by the last closing price (from step a above). The result is typically something like 0.1234 or 0.0123. Convert the decimal to a percent (such as 12.34% or 1.23%).

Example:

• Step (a): Last closing price (previous close) of Coke = 66.26

• Step (b): Change for the day (up or down) = -$.05

• Step (c): Divide (b) by (a) = -$.05/$66.26 = 0.00075 =-.08% <-- R.O.I. in percent.
