One year ago, Stacey purchased 100 shares of KNF stock for $3,245. Today, she sold those shares for $35.00 per share. What is the capital gains yield on this investment if the dividend yield is 1.4 percent?

7.86%

Explanation:

The computation of the capital gain yield on the investment is shown below:

As we know that

Capital gains yield is

= (Selling price per share × number of shares purchased) ÷ (Stock value) - 1

= $3,500 ÷ $3,245 - 1

= 0.07858

= 7.86%

We simply applied the above formula so that the capital gain yield could come and the same is to be considered

cognitive overload: having a lot on your mind impairs decision-making and tends to result in the simplest, but not necessarily best, option being selected.

empathy gaps: overlooking how you might feel in a different situation can result in unnecessary purchases, such as overbuying when shopping for food on an empty stomach.

optimism and overconfidence: wearing rose-tinted glasses and having unrealistic expectations about the future can affect money management and leave you unprepared for a change in circumstance.

instant gratification: seeking instant gratification drives impulsive spending and can undermine long-term planning and savings.

harmful habits: automatic or mindless behaviour can amplify a poor financial decision as it becomes a recurring event.

social norms: we are heavily influenced by the actions of others; while this can be in certain circumstances, it also contributes to the pressure to keep up with the joneses through conspicuous consumption.
