Answer :

Answer:

The total percentage return on the share investment is 19.08% as calculated below as sum of the dividends yield and capital gains yield

The dividend yield on the share is 1.84%

The capital gains yield on the share is 17.24%

Find the details of the figures in the explanation section below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage total return on the share is given the total return/initial share price.

The total return is the addition of dividend yield and gains yield

dividend yield=dividend/share price

                      =1.60/87

                      =1.84%

capital gains yield =(102-87)/87

                               =17.24%

Total percentage return=1.84%+17.24%

                                        =19.08%
