                  Question 1





                  Yields on shares

                  Consider a share with a nominal value of $1 and a current market price of $1.14

                  If a dividend of $0.08 is paid out calculate the dividend yield.

                  Dividend yield = dividend/market value × 100


                  Dividend yield = $0.08/$1.14 × 100 = 7.0%
