Answer 1

Highest dividend yield over the past year is:

Dividend yield is the highest when the price of the stock is the lowest,

At 52 week low, the Dividend Yield is:

Dividend Yield = Dividend / Price = $2.19/$34.07 = 0.064279 or 6.43%

Therefore the higest Dividend Yield = 6.43%

Lowest Dividend Yield over the past year:

Just as mentioned above, the Dividend yield is lowest, when the stock price is highest. Taking 52 week high price of the stock:

Dividend Yield = $2.19/$56.46 = 0.038789 or 3.88%

Thus the Lowest Dividend yield = 3.88%
