Answer:

A. 2.78%

Explanation:

Capital Gain / loss is the difference between the selling and purchasing prices. Capital gain arises when sales price of an asset is more than purchase price. Capital loss arises when sales price of an asset is less than purchase price.

Capital gain = $74.00 - $72.00 = $2

Capital Gain Yield = Capital Gain / original acquisition cost

Capital Gain Yield = $2 / 72 = 2.78%
