Question

Corporations often allocate all or part of their profits to shareholders. This is called _____.

A.allotments
B. dividends
C. dispensations
D. shares

Answer 1

The answer is B. Dividends

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividends.

Usually now days, the rate of return is anywhere from 3 to 8 %. That means that if you have 10000$ worth of stock, you should expect about 300 dollars per year back. Doesn't sound like much, but it can build up.

Shares are what you buy that return the dividends. 1 share brings back so much money. You don't have to sell the shares to get the money. I have no idea what allotments and dispensations are when referring to stocks.
