Respuesta :

Dividend Yield ratio is calculated as percentage by dividing the Dividend per share by Market price per share. The formula for the Dividend Yield ratio is as follow:

Dividend Yield = Dividend per share / Market Price per share

We are given:

Dividend per share =$1.60

Market Price per share =$48

Hence, Dividend Yield = 1.60 /48 = 0.033 = 3.3%
