To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($6.68 in this case). So, $6,000 / $6.68 = 898 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $6.68 = 180 shares ($100 per month).
計算方法：將期望的年收入（如6,000美元或1,200美元）除以股息（在本例中爲6.68美元）。因此，6,000美元/6.68美元=898（每月500美元），1,200美元/6.68美元=180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，股息收益率可以根據股利支付和股票價格隨時間滾動變化。
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock's current price.
其計算方法如下：將每年的股息支付除以當前股票價格。
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，如果一隻股票每年支付2美元的股息，並且目前的價格爲50美元，則股息收益率將爲4%（2美元/50美元）。但是，如果股票價格上漲到60美元，則股息收益率下降到3.33%（2美元/60美元）。相反，如果股票價格下跌到40美元，則股息收益率上升到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。如果一家公司增加其股息，則在股票價格保持不變的情況下，收益率也會增加。相反，如果股息支付減少，收益率也會隨之降低。
