Answer:
B. 5.40 percent
Explanation:
Let today's price per share be $X
Total return = [ (New value + Dividend - Old value) / Old price ] *100
Old value = $24 *540 = $12,960
Next, plug in the numbers to the formula;
0.063 = [ (540X + 117 - 12,960)/ 12,960 ]
0.063 =
multiply both sides by 12,960;
0.063 *12,960 = 540X - 12,843
816.48 = 540X - 12,843
Add 12,843 from both sides and solve for X;
816.48 + 12,843 = 540X
13,659.48 = 540X
Divide both sides by 540;
13,659.48/ 540 = X
X = 25.295
Therefore, today's price per share = $25.30
Capital gains yield= (Today's price - Original price) /Original price
Capital gains yield = (25.295 -24) / 24
=0.05396 or 5.40%
Therefore, Capital gains yield is 5.40%
Answer:
a) 15 to 35 approximately 95%
(b) 10 to 40 approximately almost all
(c) 20 to 30 approximately 68%
Explanation:
The data have a bell-shaped distribution which means the data is equally distributed on both sides of the mean.
We have the mean at 25 and a standard deviation of 5 which means that the interval is for each of the values of 5 .
The mean would be u and
The first value would be u ±σ = 25 ± 5= 20 and 30 (68 % )
The second value will be u ± 2σ= 25± 10 = 15 and 35 (95%)
The third value will be u ± 3σ= 25 ± 15 = 10 and 40 (99.7 % almost all)
In the figure below the light blue region gives u ±σ on both sides of the mean
, dark blue gives u ± 2σ values on both sides of the mean and grey gives
u ± 3 σ values on both sides of the mean.
It is obvious that 68 % of the data is contained in the u ±σ light blue region, 95 % of the data in the u ± 2σ dark blue including light blue and 99.7 % in the u ± 3σ all colored regions.
