Suppose a stock had an initial price of $58 per share, paid a dividend of $1.90 per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $68. What was the dividend yield and the capital gains yield

Respuesta :

Answer: Dividend yield is 3.3%

Capital gains yield is 17.24%

Explanation:

Dividend yield is given as the ratio of annual dividend per share and stock's price per share.

Dividend per share = $1.9

Share price = $58

Dividend yield = 1.9/58 = 0.033 or 3.3%

Capital gain yield is the appreciation in the price of a stock expressed as a percentage.

Capital gain yield = (current price – original price) / original price x 100

Current price = $68

Original price = $58

CGY = (68-58)/58 * 100 = (10/58)*100 = 17.24%
