Answer:
a. 12%
b. 2% and 10%
Explanation:
a. The computation of the realized return is shown below:
= {(Ending share price - initial price) + Dividend} ÷ (Initial price) × 100
= {$1 + ($55 - $50)} ÷ $50
= 12%
b. The computation of the dividend yield and the capital gain is shown below:
Dividend yield
= (Dividend) ÷ (initial price) × 100
= $1 ÷ $50 × 100
= 2%
For capital gain yield:
= (Ending share price - initial price) ÷ (Initial price) × 100
= ($55 - $50) ÷ ($50) × 100
= $5 ÷ $50 × 100
= 10%
