how was yeild measured?
Answers
Answer:
yield is a return measure for an investment over a set period of time, expressed as a percentage. Yield includes price increases as well as any dividends paid, calculated as the net realized return divided by the principal amount (i.e. amount invested).
Explanation:
Yield is the term for earnings generated and realized on an investment over a specific period of time, expressed in a percentage. The percentage is based on the amount invested, the current market value, or the face value of the investment security.
Yield includes interest earned, or dividends received from holding a particular security over the specific period. But it ignores capital gains. The nature and valuation - whether the valuation is fixed or fluctuates - results in yields being classified as known, or anticipated.
