You purchased a stock at a price of $48.74. The stock paid a dividend of $1.91 per share and the stock price at the end of the year is $54.79. What is the capital gains yield?
Information provided:
Purchase price of stock= $48.74
Stock price at the end of the year= $54.79
Dividend= $1.91
Capital gains yield is calculated using the below formula:
Capital Gains Yield= Current price-original price/Original price*100
= $54.79 - $48.74/ $48.74
= $6.05/ $48.74
= 0.1241*100
= 12.41%.
