    6.4%

    Explanation:

    For computing the minimum yield on investment, first we have to find out the combined ratio which is shown below:

    = Projected loss percentage + expense ratio + dividend percentage

    = 77.5% + 23.9% + 5%

    = 106.4%

    So, the minimum yield on investment required is

    = 106.4% - 100%

    = 6.4%

    The 100% is the percentage value

    We simply applied the above formula
