Answer:

$0.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividend yield = Annual dividend / Current price

Where the annual dividend = $96*2% = $96*0.02 = $1.92

So, the quarterly dividend= Annual dividend/4 = $1.92/4 = $0.48. So, the latest quarterly dividend received by stock investors must have been $0.48 per share.
