Explanation / Answer

Hi,


Please find the answer as follows:


Dividend Yield Ratio = Dividend Per Share/Price Per Share


Dividend Per Share = Total Dividend Distributed on Common Stock/Total Number of Common Shares Outstanding


Total Dividend Distributed on Common Stock = 50000


Total Number of Common Shares Outstanding = Value of Common Stock/Par Value = 400000/2 = 200000


Dividend Per Share = 50000/200000 = .25


Dividend Yield Ratio = .25/6.98 = 3.58%


Answer is 3.58%



Thanks.
