ok here ya go.

market price = 150 x 2.5 = 375.
dividend = 0.1 x 150 = 15

dividend yield = dividend expressed as a percentage of the market price.

15/375 x 100 = 4% :)

this is how i worked it out, i may be wrong but

Thanks. q13 was da hardest question for me. i put 20%. i knew it was a percentage, i took a chance and chose the wrong answer out of two answers. Hopefully for some strange reason it becomes right.

It's just the dividend over the current market price...

So .10/2.5. Blindingly simple if you know the formula. I'm lucky, I found it out literally five minutes before the exam.
