Answer:

11.5%

Explanation:

The dividend yield of Baldwin Co can be calculated by using the following formula:

Dividend Yield = (Current Dividend + Increase in Dividend) / Current Stock Value

Here

Current Dividend is $16.58 per share

Dividend Increase is $3.64 per share

Current Stock Value is $203.72

By putting values we have:

Dividend Yield = ($16.58 - $3.64) / $203.72  

Dividend Yield = $23.49 per share / $203.72

Dividend Yield = 11.5%
