Answer:

A. 31.65%

B. 1.98

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine the percentage total return

Using this formula

Percentage total return= Increase in price+ Dividends÷ Initial price

Let plug in the formula

R = [($118 - 91) + 1.80] / $91

R=$28.8/$91

R = .3165*100

R=31.65%

Therefore the percentage total return is 31.65%

B. Calculation to determine the Dividend yield

Using this formula

Dividend yield= Dvidend / initial price

Let plug in the formula

Dividend yield = $1.80 / $91

Dividend yield = .0198*100

Dividend yield = 1.98%

Therefore Dividend yield is 1.98%
