Question Completion:

The total dividends paid is $1,743,400 and the outstanding shares are 1,300,000.

a. The dividend per share = $1.34

b. The dividend yield = 1.97%

c. The capital gain = $11.33

d. The total percentage return = 22.3%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Dividends paid = $1,743,400

Outstanding shares = 1,300,000

Dividends per share = $1.34 ($1,743,400/1,300,000)

Dividend yield = Dividend per share/Stock price

= $1.34/$68.14 = 1.97%

Capital gain = $11.33 ($68.14 - $56.81)

Total return = $12.67 ($11.33 + $1.34)

Total percentage return = Total return/Beginning Stock Price * 100

= $12.67/$56.81 * 100

= 22.3%
