Annual dividend per share  

Dividend yield = Annual dividend per share / Market price per share

0.0825 = Annual dividend per share / $48

Annual dividend per share = $48 x 0.0825

Annual dividend per share = $3.96 per share

Quarterly dividend per share 

Quarterly dividend per share = Annual dividend per share / 4 Quarters 

 Quarterly dividend per share = $3.96 / 4 Quarters

Quarterly dividend per share = $0.99 per share  

Therefore, the most recent quarterly dividend paid to the shareholders will be $0.99
