To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from Apple, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
要想从苹果每月赚取500美元，我们首先设定年度目标为6,000美元（500美元 x 12个月）。
Next, we take this amount and divide it by Apple's $1.00 dividend: $6,000 / $1.00 = 6,000 shares.
接下来，我们将这个金额除以苹果的1美元股息：6,000美元 / 1美元 = 6,000股。
So, an investor would need to own approximately $1,380,600 worth of Apple, or 6,000 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
因此，一个投资者需要拥有约1,380,600美元的苹果股票，或者6,000股，才能获得500美元的月度股息收入。
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $1.00 = 1,200 shares, or $276,120 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.
假设更加保守的目标为每月100美元（年度1,200美元），我们进行相同的计算：1,200美元 / 1美元 = 1,200股，或276,120美元才能获得每月100美元的股息收入。
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。
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
股息率是通过将年度股息支付额除以当前股票价格计算的。随着股票价格的变化，股息率也会发生变化。
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
例如，如果一支股票每年支付2美元股息，当前价格为50美元，则它的股息率为4%。然而，如果股票价格上涨到60美元，股息率将降至3.33%（2美元÷60美元）。
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
相反，如果股票价格降至40美元，则股息率将提高至5%（2美元÷40美元）。
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
此外，股息支付金额本身也可以随时间变化而发生变化，这也会影响股息率。如果一家公司增加了其股息支付额，即使股票价格保持不变，股息率也会增加。同样地，如果一个公司减少了其股息支付额，股息率也会降低。
