Solutions

Expert Solution

By dividing the yearly dividend per share by the market price per share and multiplying the result by 100 to represent it as a percentage, we can determine the dividend yield for Sheldon Corporation.

 

Dividend Yield = (Annual Dividend per Share / Market Price per Share) * 100

Given: Annual Dividend per Share = $2.90 Market Price per Share = $58

Dividend Yield = ($2.90 / $58) * 100

Dividend Yield = 0.05 * 100

Dividend Yield = 5%

 


 

Therefore, the dividend yield for Sheldon Corporation is 5%.
