在蘋果季度收益前夕，圍繞該公司的最新熱議，一些投資者可能會關注公司股息帶來的潛在收益。目前，蘋果每年提供0.43%的年度股息率。這意味着每股季度股息25美分（一年總共1美元）。
To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from Apple, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
要想從蘋果每月賺取500美元，我們首先設定年度目標爲6,000美元（500美元 x 12個月）。
Next, we take this amount and divide it by Apple's $1.00 dividend: $6,000 / $1.00 = 6,000 shares.
接下來，我們將這個金額除以蘋果的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，一個投資者需要擁有約1,380,600美元的蘋果股票，或者6,000股，才能獲得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.
假設更加保守的目標爲每月100美元（年度1,200美元），我們進行相同的計算：1,200美元 / 1美元 = 1,200股，或276,120美元才能獲得每月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.
請注意，股息收益率可以根據股利支付和股票價格隨時間滾動變化。
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.
股息率是通過將年度股息支付額除以當前股票價格計算的。隨着股票價格的變化，股息率也會發生變化。
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，當前價格爲50美元，則它的股息率爲4%。然而，如果股票價格上漲到60美元，股息率將降至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，如果股票價格降至40美元，則股息率將提高至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，股息支付金額本身也可以隨時間變化而發生變化，這也會影響股息率。如果一家公司增加了其股息支付額，即使股票價格保持不變，股息率也會增加。同樣地，如果一個公司減少了其股息支付額，股息率也會降低。
