Problem 1
You bought a share of stock for $100. It is now worth $107 and has just paid an annual dividend of $4 per share.
Part 1
What was the dividend yield?
Part 2
What was the capital gains yield?
Part 3
What was the total rate of return?
Dividend yield = Annual dividend per share / Market price per share = 4/107 = 0.0374
Capital Gains Yield = [(Current price - Original Price)/Original Price] * 100
= 107- 100/100 = 0.07 = 7%
Total rate of Return = (Current price + dividend - original price) / original price
= (107 + 4 - 100)/100 = 0.11 = 11%
