b. The dividend yield = 1.97%
c. The capital gain = $11.33
d. The total percentage return = 22.3%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Dividends paid = $1,743,400
Outstanding shares = 1,300,000
Dividends per share = $1.34 ($1,743,400/1,300,000)
Dividend yield = Dividend per share/Stock price
= $1.34/$68.14 = 1.97%
Capital gain = $11.33 ($68.14 - $56.81)
Total return = $12.67 ($11.33 + $1.34)
Total percentage return = Total return/Beginning Stock Price * 100
= $12.67/$56.81 * 100
= 22.3%
