    We can find the capital gains yield from the following formula:

    Capital Gains Yield = Increase or decrease in the share price divided by Original cost of the shares when purchased

    By putting values

    Capital Gains Yield = ($52 - $36) / $52 = - 30.7%

    Explanation:

    We can see that there is a decrease in the share price and this is also evident form the capital gains yield formula.
