Answer:

The total percentage rate of return for the year is -6.51%

Explanation:

Capital Gain Yield = ($59 – $64 )/ $64

                              = - $5 / $64

                              = -7.81%

Since the dividend yield is 1.3%:

Total return = -7.81% + 1.3%

                   = -6.51%

Therefore, The total percentage rate of return for the year is -6.51%
