    Current dividend paid = 8% x $100 = $8

    Current yield = Current dividend paid

    Current market price

    Current yield = $8

    $74

    Current yield = 0.1081 = 10.81%

    Explanation:

    Current yield is the ratio of current dividend paid to current market price. The current dividend paid is $8 and the current market price is $74. The division of current dividend by current market price gives current yield.
