    Explanation:

    Purchase price of the stock = $32

    Total return on the stock:

    = Purchase price of the stock * Total return

    = 32 * 14.62%

    = $4.6784

    Dividend gain on the stock:

    = Purchase price of the stock + Total return on the stock - capital gain - Purchase price

    = $32 + $4.6784 - $3.48 - $32

    = $1.1984

    Dividend yield:

    = Dividend gain on the stock : Purchase price of the stock

    = $1.1984 : 32

    = 3.75%
