    Dividend per share = 8% of 100 = 8

    for 500 share its 8 multiply by 500 = 4000

    Normally the annual dividend amount is stated as a percentage of the par value, which is the original asking price of the stock

    ((dividend yields: Yield is the effective interest rate you receive if you buy shares of the preferred stock.

    The yield is equal to the annual dividend divided by the current price.

    in this case

    dividend yield is 8 divided by 120

    answer = 0.067 = 6.7%))
