Suppose a stock had an initial price of $65 per share, paid a dividend of $1.45 per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $58.

a,

compute the percentage total return. (a negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.)

b.

what was the dividend yield and the capital gains yield? (a negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.)

total return = -8.54 %

dividend yield = 2.23 %

capital gains yield  = -10.77 %

Explanation:

given data

initial price = $65 per share

paid a dividend = $1.45 per share

ending share price = $58

to find out

percentage total return and dividend yield and the capital gains yield

solution

first we calculate here total return that is express as

total return = close price - opening price + dividend ÷ opening price  ...........1

put here value we get

total return =

total return = -8.54 %

and

now we get dividend yield as

dividend yield =   .............2

put here value we get

dividend yield =

dividend yield = 2.23 %

and

now we get here capital gains yield that is express as

capital gains yield = closing price - opening price ÷ opening price   ..........3

put here value we get

capital gains yield =

capital gains yield  = -10.77 %

1   all nations face the problem of scarcity because there are limited resources and unlimited wants. nations do not have enough factors of production to produce everything that their population wants. entrepreneurial resources initiate businesses to make new goods and services; labor resources produce goods and services.

2 there are four factors of production: natural resources, labor resources, capital resources, and entrepreneurial resources. natural resources are raw materials from nature that are used to produce goods. trees, water, and grains are natural resources. some natural resources, such as wheat and cattle, are renewable

3 wants

things that you do not need to have in order to survive, but would like to have

needs

things that you must have in order to survive

goods

physical products

services

tasks that a business perform for customers

resources

items that people can use to make or obtain what they need or want

determine

to settle or decide by choice of alternatives or possiblities
