Answer 1

Beach boards net income for the year, I = $150,000
Dividends per share, D = $1.40
Dividend yield, DY= 3.5%
Beach boards’ current stock price is P
We have the formula
Dividend yield = Dividends per share / Current stock price => DY = D / P
Beach boards current stock price is P = D / DY => 1.4 / 3.5 % => P = 1.4 x
100 / 3.5
Beach boards current stock price is P = 140 / 3.5 = $40
