The formula to calculate the Dividends Per Share (DPS) is:
DPS=TDS
Where:
Dividends Per Share is the total dividends paid out by a business, including interim dividends, divided by the number of outstanding ordinary shares issued.
Total Dividends is the total amount of dividends paid annually to shareholders.
Number of Shares is the total number of stocks of a corporation.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
DPS=TDS
Evaluating:
DPS=1500020
The Dividends Per Share is 750.

|---|---|---|
