~~~J~~~ asked:


Example:

If a company paid a dividend of $5.10 per share and the yield was 8.14%, how much is the stock currently trading at?
Dividend divided by stock price equals yield (%)
Thank you!

    The formula for calculation of Yield is as follows:

    Yield (%) = Dividend per share/Current market price of share

    So in this case, current trading price is = $5.10/8.14% = $62.65
