    Expected dividend yield = 10.0%

    Expected capital gains yield = 5.0%

    Explanation:

    D0 = $1.50 (Given)

    E (D1) = D0 * (1 + g) = $1.50 * (1.05) = $1.575

    E (P0) = $15.75 (Given)

    E (P1) = $15.75 * (1.05) 1 = $16.5375

    Expected dividend yield = E (D1) / E (P0)

    = $1.575 / $15.75 = 0.100 = 10.0%

    Expected capital gains yield = (E (P1) - E (P0)) / E (P0)

    ($16.5375 - $15.75) / $15.75 = 0.050 = 5.0%
