Frances bought 144 shares of Dwyn Horticulture for $7.73 apiece. Her broker charged her a commission of $46.15 for the purchase. If the yearly dividend on Dwyn Horticulture is 61 cents per share, what is the annual yield on Frances’s stock?

Answer
A
0.0758
B
0.0789
C
0.0132
D
0.0320

Explanation

Frances’s total cost was 144 × $7.73 + $46.15 = $1,159.27. Her annual dividends total 144 × $0.61 = $87.84. The annual yield is $87.84 ÷ $1,159.27 ≈ 0.0758, so the correct choice is 0.0758.
