    A) 2%, - 5%

    Explanation:

    The computations are shown below:

    Dividend yield = (Annual yield) : (market price) * 100

    where,

    Market price = $95 per share

    Annual dividend = $2 per share

    So, the dividend yield = ($2 per share : $95 per share) * 100

    = 2%

    Capital gain yield = (Market price - purchase price) : (purchase price) * 100

    = ($95 - $100) : ($100) * 100

    = - 5%

    We assume the purchase price is 100
