Default Newbie question on yield - Vanguard Money Market

Hi all
I'm a beginner in investing so please forgive this simple question.

I'm looking at Vanguard's Prime Money Market Fund (VMMXX). One the Distribution page it states the following:

Distribution Type: Dividend
Most Recent Distribution: $0.00039
Record Date: 05/29/2009
Reinvest Date: 05/29/2009
Payable Date: 06/01/2009
Reinvest Price: $1.00
Distribution Yield: 0.45%
SEC Yield: 0.37%

(https://personal.vanguard.com/us/fun...T#hist=tab%3A4)

My question is: If I had $1000 in this fund eligible for this distribution what would I get. Is it as simple as $1000x0.45%=$4.50. Or is it $1000x$0.00039=$0.39. Or is the 0.45% for the entire year? In which case it would be $1000x0.45%/12=$0.38
Thanks for the help
