Shares in Rioja Enterprises were priced at $4.45 at the beginning of the year. At the end of the year the price had dropped to $4.30 and the company had paid a dividend of $0.26. What is the dividend yield?
A. 5.84%
B. -3.37%
C. 2.47%
D. -0.53%
Given about Rioja Enterprises,
Price at beginning of the year = $4.45

=> Dividend yield = 0.26/4.45 = 5.84%
Option A is correct.
