Most stock investors are now already familiar with the two basic forms of dividends: cash and stock.
Obviously, cash dividends are distribution of a company’s income to stockholders in the form of cash. When announced, the cash dividend is usually stated in peso or dollar amount (for example, PhP 5.00 cash dividend for every share of X company). To compute for the total amount of dividends the stockholder is entitled to receive, one simply has to multiply the amount of dividend per share by the total number of shares owned by the stockholder.
