How to calculate return received on investments?

Investments
Luv4DMB asked:


I’m trying to calculate the return we are receiving on equity investments on a quarterly basis. Would the formula be
(current balance-original investment)/original investment?
Say we invested $700,000 in June 2005. As of June 30,2006 our balance is 1,058,500 would our return be 51%
Oh and I forgot to add we invested an additional 250,000 November of 2005, would that change the calculation of the return?
