Compute the percentage total return. What was the dividend yield? The capital gains yield? LO 1 ros13952_ch10_310-349.indd 343 12/24/18 5:11 PM 344 part 6 Risk and Return 2. Calculating Returns Rework Problem 1 assuming the ending share price is $78.

Answer 1

When ending share price is $98, capital gain yield is 12.64% and dividend yield is 2.47%. Percentage total return is 15.11%. When ending share price is $78, percentage price return is  -7.87%.

What is the percentage total return?

The price return on a stock has two components; the price appreciation and the dividend yield.

Percentage price return = price appreciation + dividend yield

Price appreciation = (price in on year - initial price) / initial price

Dividend yield = dividend / initial price

Percentage price return when ending share price is $98:

Capital gain yield = [(98 /87) - 1 ] = 12.64%

Dividend yield = (2.15/87) = 2.47%

Percentage price return when ending share price is $78:

Capital gain yield = [(78/87)  - 1] = -10.34%

Dividend yield = (2.15/87) =2.47%

Percentage price return = -7.87%
