Answer:
a. Dividend = $1.65
Market price per share = $58
Dividend yield at purchase = $1.65/$58
Dividend yield at purchase = 2.84%
b. Dividend = $1.77
Market price per share = $67
Dividend yield at sale = $1.77/$67
Dividend yield at sale = 2.64%
c. Total return = Dividend Received + Capital Gain on sale of shares - Commission paid
= [$ (1.65 + 1.77) * 100 shares] + [$ (67-58) * 100 shares] - $30 - $40
= 342 + 900 - 30 - 40
= $812
d. Annualized holding period yield = (Total return / Original investment) * (1 / N)
= {Total return / [(Purchase price per share * Number of shares) + Purchase commission]} * (1 / N)
= {$ 812/[($ 58 *100) + 30]} * (1/2 years)
= 6.96%
