Answer: 11.31%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the price of a stock at the end of each of the past three years has been $14, $12, and $11 with $11 being the latest price and that the stock pays an annual dividend of $1 per share.

The average annual capital gain for the past two years will be:

= (-$2/$14) + ($-1/$12)/2

= 11.31%
