Capital Gains Yield= Current price-original price/Original price*100

                                    = $850 – $1,000/ $1,000*100

                                    = $150/ $1,000*100

                                    = 0.15*100

                                    = 15.

Therefore, the capital gains yield is 15.

In case of any query, kindly comment on the solution.
