Document Summary
Solutions: dividend yield = 2/40 = . 05 = 5%. The dividend yield is unaffected; it is based on the initial price, not the final price. Capital gain = = . Capital gains yield = 4/40 = . 10 = 10% Rate of return dividend + capital gain price. 1 = . 0680 = 6. 80: real return = 1 + nominal rate of return. Canada provides the higher real return despite the lower nominal return. Notice that the approximation real rate nominal rate inflation rate would incorrectly suggest that the costaguanan real rate was higher than the canadian real rate. The approximation is valid only for low rates. The average tsx risk premium was 15. 26 %. The average long bond risk premium was 4. 4% for these five years. These results are largely due to the very good performance of the tsx in 2003 to 2007. First, calculate the sample variance, and then take the square root.
