Dividend Yield = D1 / P0

2.90% = D1 / 35.75

P0 & Dividend Yield is given in question

D1 = 35.75 *2.9%

D1 = 1.04

Total Percentage Return during 2nd Year =

( (Dividend Paid During the year) + (Change in value of the share during 2nd year i.e. (P2-P1))) / (Price at the beginning of 2nd Year i.e. P1)

(( 1.70 ) + (44.61-38.74)) / (38.74)

((1.70)   + (5.87)) / (38.74)

(3)      Capital Gain Yield during 3rd Year =

(Price at the end of 3rd Year – Price at the beginning of 3rd Year) i.e. (P3-P2) / (Price at the beginning of 3rd Year i.e. P2)

= (43.52 – 44.61)/ (44.61)

=   - 1.09/ 44.61

= - 2.44%

Total Percentage Return during 3rd Year =

( (Dividend Paid During the year) + (Change in value of the share during 3rd year i.e. (P3-P2))) / (Price at the beginning of 3rd Year i.e. P2)

= ((1.85) + (43.52-44.61))/ (44.61)

= ((1.85) + (-1.09)) / (44.61)

= .76 / 44.61

= 1.71%

Hope it satisfies the Query.
