Answer:
4.31%
Explanation:
The computation of the expected dividend yield is shown below:
As we know that
Dividend yield = (Annual dividend ÷ Market price) × 100
where,
Annual dividend would be
= $2.25 + $2.25 × 3.5%
= $2.25 + 0.07875
= $2.32875 per share
And, the market price is $54 per share
So, the expected dividend yield is
= ($2.32875 per share ÷ $54 per share) × 100
= 4.31%
