    The answer is: 2.98%

    Explanation:

    The dividend yield for the stock during the purchase year can be calculated using the following formula:

    dividend yield year A = dividend year A / stock price year A

    In this case year A is the purchase year.

    Dividend yield = $1.55 / $52 = 0.0298 or 2.98%
