Answer: B. The stocks have a yield 6.84 percentage points greater than that of the bonds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, the yield for stocks will be calculated as:
= return/ investment cost
= $3.15/$ 21.38
= 0.14733395
= 14.73%
The yield for bonds will be calculated as:
= Return/Investment cost
Return = 1,000 x 8.3% = 83
Investment cost = 1,000 x 105.166/100 = 1051.66
Yield = 83/1051.66
= 0.07892284
= 7.89%
Then, the difference between the yield will be:
= 14.73% - 7.89%
= 6.84%
Therefore, the stocks have a yield 6.84 percentage points greater than that of the bonds.
