    The dividend per share will be calculated as under -

    Given, 12 % of return is evenly divided between capital gain and dividend yield i. e. 6 % for each of them.

    Now,

    Holding period return = (Dividend (1 + dividend yield) / Current price) + Capital gain

    12 % = Dividend (1 + 0.06) / 66.30 + 6 %

    6% = Dividend (1.06) / 66.30

    Dividend = 66.30 X 6% / 1.06

    Dividend = $ 3.753 or $ 3.73
