Answer:

8.33%

Explanation:

A stock is bought for $23.00

The stock is sold for $26 after one year

The dividend paid is $1.50

Therefore, the capital gain rate can be calculated as follows

Capital gain= P1-Po/Po

= 26-24/24

= 2/24

= 0.0833 ×100

= 8.33%

Hence the capital gain rate for this transaction is 8.33%
