A stock's price today is $20.75, and it is expected to pay out a dividend of $0.50 per share in one year. What is the stock's expected dividend yield? (Enter your answer as a decimal rounded to 4 decimal places, not a percentage). For example, enter .0153 instead of 1.53%.
Dividend yield is the overall percentage of dividend which is paid out of the current market price of the shares of company.
Expected dividend yield= (expected dividend/current share price)
= (.50/20.75)
= .0240963 or 2.40963%
