Question

Currently Baldwin is paying a dividend of $1.10 (per share). If this dividend stayed the same, but the stock price rose by 10% what would be the dividend yield

Answer 1

Dividend yield = 227.06%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the Closing stock market summary for Baldwin company is $44.05

Dividend yield = Dividend * 100 / (Price* (1 + growth rate) )

Dividend yield = 1.10 * 100 / (44.05 * (1+0.10) )

Dividend yield = 1.10 * 100 / (44.05 * 1.10)

Dividend yield = 110 / 48.455

Dividend yield = 2.2706

Dividend yield = 227.06%
