Jeremy purchased 200 shares of Firestone common stock at $45.20 per share and paid a $39.95 transaction fee. A dividend of $3.12 was paid the first year he owned the stock. What was his rate of yield?
Transaction charges per share = Transaction fee / Number of stocks = 39.95/200
Transaction charges per share = $0.19975 or ~ $0.20
.
Now, we can calculate total cost per share:
Total cost of per equity share = Purchase price per share + Transaction charges per share
Total cost per equity share = $45.20 + $0.20
Total cost per equity share = $45.40
.
Now, we can calculate rate of yield:
Rate of yield = 3.12 / 45.40
Rate of yield = 6.87%
