How do I calculate common dividends per share?

  • Answer:

    Dividends Per ShareDetermine the company's dividends paid from the company's income statement and the common stock outstanding at the time of the dividends from the balance sheet or notes to the financial statement. Divide the dividends paid by the common stock outstanding. For example, Firm A pays $100,000 in dividends in 2010. At the time, there was 50,000 common shares of stock outstanding. Then, $100,000 divided by 50,000 equals $2 a share.References:http://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dividend-per-share.asphttp://moneyterms.co.uk/dps/
