Answer:
paid $.25 per share per quarter for the past year
Step-by-step explanation:
A stock is ownership rights purchased by investors in a public company. Holders of stock are called stockholders and they are regarded as owners of the company.
Stockholders are paid dividends. Dividends are a proportion of a company's profits paid to shareholders.
If the stock's dividend is $1, it means it either paid $1 the past year or paid $.25 per share per quarter for the past year
