To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($6.68 in this case). So, $6,000 / $6.68 = 898 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $6.68 = 180 shares ($100 per month).
计算方法：将期望的年收入（如6,000美元或1,200美元）除以股息（在本例中为6.68美元）。因此，6,000美元/6.68美元=898（每月500美元），1,200美元/6.68美元=180股（每月100美元）。
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
请注意，股息收益率可以根据股利支付和股票价格随时间滚动变化。
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock's current price.
其计算方法如下：将每年的股息支付除以当前股票价格。
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).
例如，如果一只股票每年支付2美元的股息，并且目前的价格为50美元，则股息收益率将为4%（2美元/50美元）。但是，如果股票价格上涨到60美元，则股息收益率下降到3.33%（2美元/60美元）。相反，如果股票价格下跌到40美元，则股息收益率上升到5%（2美元/40美元）。
Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.
同样，股息支付的变化也会影响收益率。如果一家公司增加其股息，则在股票价格保持不变的情况下，收益率也会增加。相反，如果股息支付减少，收益率也会随之降低。
