Question

One year ago, Stacey purchased 100 shares of KNF stock for $3,245. Today, she sold those shares for $35.00 per share. What is the capital gains yield on this investment if the dividend yield is 1.4 percent?

Answer 1

Answer:

7.86%

Explanation:

The computation of the capital gain yield on the investment is shown below:

As we know that

Capital gains yield is

= (Selling price per share × number of shares purchased) ÷ (Stock value) - 1

We simply applied the above formula so that the capital gain yield could come and the same is to be considered
