Answer:

Dividend Yield = 0.25423 or 25.423% rounded off to 25.42%

Step-by-step explanation:

The dividend yield is the return provided by a stock in form of dividend which is expressed as a percentage of the current market price. Thus, dividend yield can be calculated as follows,

Dividend Yield = Annual Dividend / Current Market Price

Dividend Yield for Gwen will be,

Dividend Yield = 3.75 / 14.75

Dividend Yield = 0.25423 or 25.423% rounded off to 25.42%
