It is calculated by dividing the capital gain (the difference between the purchase price and the sale price) by the beginning price.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you buy a stock for $100 and sell it for $110, your capital gain is $10. Your capital gains yield is $10 \/ $100 = 0.10, or 10%.<\/p>\n<p>Capital gains yield is a useful measure of investment performance, but it is important to note that it does not take into account the time value of money. In other words, a $10 capital gain on a $100 investment is not the same as a $10 capital gain on a $1,000 investment.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>B. growth gain is not a standard measure of investment performance.<\/li>\n<li>C. regular yield is a measure of the income that an investment generates, such as dividends or interest.<\/li>\n<li>D. variable yield is a measure of the volatility of an investment&#8217;s returns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;capital gain&#8221;
