Question

Suppose a stock had an initial price of $84 per share, paid a dividend of $1.50 per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $71.50.

Compute the percentage total return. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

What was the dividend yield? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

What was the capital gains yield? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

Suppose a stock had an initial price of $84 per share, paid a dividend of $1.50 per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $71.50.

Requirement 1:

Compute the percentage total return. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

  Percentage total return % Requirement 2:

What was the dividend yield? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

  Dividend yield % Requirement 3:

What was the capital gains yield? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

  Capital gains yield %

Explanation / Answer

a)Total return = (P1-P0 +D)/P0

                           = (71.50-84 +1.5) /84

                          = - 11 / 84

                        = - .1310 or -13.10%

b)Dividend yield = D /Po

                              = 1.50 / 84

                             = .01786 or 1.786%

c)Capital gain yield = (P1 -P0)/ P0

                                 = (71.5 -84 )/84

                                 = -12.5 /84

                                  = -.1488 OR - 14.88%
