Let's go step-by-step through each part of the problem using the given data from the stock table.

### Part 1a:
The symbol for Company XYZ stock is **XYZ** (already provided).

### Part 1b:
To find the price per share at the end of the day yesterday, use the following:
- **Last price**: $15.89
- **Change**: +$0.38

The price at the end of yesterday would be the **current price minus today's change**:
\[
\text{Yesterday's price} = 15.89 - 0.38 = 15.51
\]
Thus, the price per share at the end of yesterday is **$15.51** (rounded to the nearest cent).

### Part 1c:
To find the total value of the shares traded today, use:
- **Volume traded**: 68,000,000 shares
- **Current price**: $15.89

The total value of shares traded today is calculated as:
\[
\text{Total value} = \text{Volume} \times \text{Current price}
\]
\[
\text{Total value} = 68,000,000 \times 15.89 = 1,080,520,000
\]
Rounded to the nearest million:
\[
\text{Total value} = 1,081 \, \text{million}
\]
Thus, the total value of shares traded today is **$1,081 million**.

### Part 1d:
To find the percentage of all Company XYZ shares that have been traded today, use:
- **Volume traded**: 68,000,000 shares
- **Shares outstanding**: 5,485,000,000 shares

The percentage of shares traded is calculated as:
\[
\text{Percentage traded} = \left(\frac{\text{Volume}}{\text{Shares outstanding}}\right) \times 100
\]
\[
\text{Percentage traded} = \left(\frac{68,000,000}{5,485,000,000}\right) \times 100 = 1.24\%
\]
Thus, **1.24%** of all Company XYZ shares have been traded so far today.

### Part 1e:
To find the total dividend you would expect to receive for the year, use:
- **Number of shares owned**: 50 shares
- **Dividend yield**: 18.63%
- **Current price**: $15.89

First, calculate the annual dividend per share:
\[
\text{Dividend per share} = \text{Dividend yield} \times \text{Current price}
\]
\[
\text{Dividend per share} = 0.1863 \times 15.89 = 2.96
\]
Now, calculate the total dividend for 50 shares:
\[
\text{Total dividend} = 2.96 \times 50 = 148.00
\]
Thus, the total dividend you should expect to receive this year is **$148.00**.
