Answer:
Total yield or rate of return is 0.36 or 36%
Explanation:
To calculate rate of return which is also the total yield on the stock, we will use the following formula,
Total Yield = (D + C) / P0
Where,
- D represents dividends paid by the stock during the year
- C is the capital appreciation(pr depreciation) or rise(or fall) in the price of the stock as compared to the purchase price
- P0 is the purchase price or price in Year 0
Total dividends for the year = 1.5 * 4 = $6
C = 130 - 100 = $30
Total Yield = (6 + 30) / 100
Total yield = 0.36 or 36%
