Stock A is worth $58 per share and Stock B has a value of $90 per share. Assuming neither stock paid a dividend, which investment has the highest rate of return?

According to this page http://www.investopedia.com/university/bonds/bonds3.asp it says that bond yield is calculated by the formula Yield = coupon/price In this case, the bond has a coupon of 0.1183*3500 = 414.05 So the yield for the bond is Yield = coupon/price = 414.05/3550 = 0.1166338028169 which is roughly 11.66%
