Expert Solution

Solution:

Initial stock price = $85 (per share)

Dividend paid = $1.5 (per share)

Share ending price = $99 (per share)

Stock rise = $99-85 =$14

Profit earned = stock rise + dividend yield = 14+1.5 =$15.5

(i) Percentage total return % = Total profit earned / Amount invested

= 15.5 / 85
= 18.24%

(ii) Dividend yield % = Dividend earned / Stock price

= 1.5 / 85

= 1.76%

(iii) Capital gains yield % = Stock rise / Initial stock price

= 14 / 85

= 16.47%
