Dividend of 24toea per shares is paid on oil search shares with a market value of K3.25 and face value of K1.60.the percentage yield is?

To calculate the percentage yield, we first need to calculate the dividend yield and then add the capital gain yield.

Dividend Yield = (Dividend per share / Market value per share) * 100
Dividend Yield = (24 toea / K3.25) * 100
Dividend Yield = (0.24 / 3.25) * 100
Dividend Yield = 7.38%

Capital Gain Yield = ((Market value per share - Face value per share) / Face value per share) * 100
Capital Gain Yield = ((K3.25 - K1.60) / K1.60) * 100
Capital Gain Yield = (1.65 / 1.60) * 100
Capital Gain Yield = 103.13%

Percentage Yield = Dividend Yield + Capital Gain Yield
Percentage Yield = 7.38% + 103.13%
Percentage Yield = 110.51%

Therefore, the percentage yield on Oil Search shares is 110.51%.

Dividend yield = (Dividend per share / Market value per share) x 100

Dividend per share = 24 toea = 0.24 kina
Market value per share = K3.25

Percentage yield = (0.24 / 3.25) x 100
= 0.074 x 100
