隨着最近圍繞蘋果的熱議，一些投資者可能也在關注該公司股息的潛在收益。截至目前，蘋果提供的年股息收益率爲0.43％，即每股25美分（每年1.00美元）的季度股息。
So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?
那麼，投資者如何利用其股息收益率每月定期賺取500美元呢？
To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $1,410,360 or around 6,000 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $282,072 or around 1,200 shares.
要僅從股息中每月賺取500美元或每年6,000美元，您就需要投資約1,410,360美元或約6,000股股票。要想獲得更溫和的每月100美元或每年1200美元，則需要282,072美元或約1,200股股票。
To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($1.00 in this case). So, $6,000 / $1.00 = 6,000 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $1.00 = 1,200 shares ($100 per month).
計算方法：將所需的年收入（6,000美元或1200美元）除以股息（在本例中爲1.00美元）。因此，6,000 美元/1.00 美元 = 6,000 美元（每月 500 美元），1,200 美元/1.00 美元 = 1,200 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.
請注意，股息收益率可能會滾動變化，因爲股息支付和股票價格都會隨着時間的推移而波動。
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock's current price.
運作方式：股息收益率的計算方法是將年度股息支付除以股票的當前價格。
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，如果一隻股票支付的年度股息爲2美元，而目前的定價爲50美元，則股息收益率將爲4％（2美元/50美元）。但是，如果股價上漲至60美元，股息收益率將降至3.33％（2美元/60美元）。相反，如果股價跌至40美元，則股息收益率將升至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.
同樣，股息支付的變化也會影響收益率。如果一家公司增加股息，只要股價保持不變，收益率也會增加。相反，如果股息支付減少，收益率也會減少。
