Explanation / Answer

We have:

P0 = 40

P1= 48

D= 2

Dividend yield = D/ P0

                                = 2/40

                                = 5%

Capital Gain Yield = (P1-P0)/P0

                                    = (48-40)/40

                                    =20%

Total rate of return = dividend yield + capital gain yield

                                     = 5% +20%

                                    = 25%
