Estimating Income from FI

I need help in determining which numbers to enter in the Security/Edit Security Details/Other Info box in order to get the correct "Estimated Income" result on the "Investing Center" For CD's and bonds, do I enter the stated interest rate of the issue, or the stated rate divided by the remaining time to maturity? For dividend paying stocks, do I enter the "dividend per share" number, or the "dividend yield" number?

Thanks

According to the Q2005 Glossary, the "Est. Income" field on the Other Info box is the estimated annual income per share; where annual income consists of interest, dividends, and distributions.

When "Estimated Income" is selected to appear in a Portfolio tab view, Quicken calculates it by multiplying the "Est. Income" value from the Security List by the number of shares you own.
