Suppose a stock had an initial price of $72 per share, paid a dividend of $2.60 per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $59. Compute the percentage total return. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.) What was the dividend yield and the capital gains yield

a. −14.44%

b.Dividend yield 3.61%

Capital gains yield −18.06%

Explanation:

a.Computation for the percentage total return

R = ($59 - 72 + 2.60) / $72

R = −.1444*100

R= −14.44%

Therefore the percentage total return is −14.44%

b. Calculation to determine the dividend yield and the capital gains yield

Dividend yield = $2.60 / $72

Dividend yield = .0361*100

Dividend yield =3.61%

Capital gains yield = ($59 - 72) / $72

Capital gains yield = −.1806*100

Capital gains yield =−18.06%

Therefore the dividend yield and the capital gains yield are :

Dividend yield 3.61%

Capital gains yield −18.06%
