Let's compute each component step-by-step.

1. Percentage Total Return

The formula for total return is: $\text{Total Return} = \frac{\text{Ending Price} - \text{Initial Price} + \text{Dividend}}{\text{Initial Price}} \times 100$

Substitute the values: $\text{Total Return} = \frac{73 - 87 + 1.80}{87} \times 100$ $= \frac{-14 + 1.80}{87} \times 100$ $= \frac{-12.20}{87} \times 100$ $= -14.02\%$

2. Dividend Yield

The formula for dividend yield is: $\text{Dividend Yield} = \frac{\text{Dividend}}{\text{Initial Price}} \times 100$

Substitute the values: $\text{Dividend Yield} = \frac{1.80}{87} \times 100$ $= 2.07\%$

3. Capital Gains Yield

The formula for capital gains yield is: $\text{Capital Gains Yield} = \frac{\text{Ending Price} - \text{Initial Price}}{\text{Initial Price}} \times 100$

Substitute the values: $\text{Capital Gains Yield} = \frac{73 - 87}{87} \times 100$ $= \frac{-14}{87} \times 100$ $= -16.09\%$

Summary of Answers

• Percentage Total Return: $-14.02\%$
• Dividend Yield: $2.07\%$
• Capital Gains Yield: $-16.09\%$
