Answer:

5%

Explanation:

In this question, we have to find out the dividend yield which is shown below:

Dividend yield = (Annual dividend ÷ current market price) × 100

where,

Market price = $40 per share

Annual dividend = $2 per share

So, the dividend yield = ($2 per share ÷ $40 per share) × 100

= 5%
