Answer:

D) 2%, 0%

Explanation:

Dividend yield is the percentage of the share price that was paid as dividends:

[tex]DY = \frac{dividends}{share \ price}\\DY=\frac{2}{100}=2\%[/tex]

Capital gains yield is the percentage increase in the share price after a period. Since, in this case, the initial and final share price are both $100 there was no capital gains yield, CGY = 0%.

Therefore, the answer is D) 2%, 0%
