Explanation / Answer

1) The selling price of stock today -

Total no. of share outstanding - 25000

Total equity - $696750

thus selling price of stock today = Total equity / Total no. of shares outstanding

= 696750 / 25000

= $27.87

Ex divindent price of stock.- As the stock goes ex-dividend tomarrow, stock price includes dividend amount we have to deduct dividend amount from price of stock.

Hence Exdividend stock price is equal to = Stock price per share trading today - dividend per share

= $27.87 - $1.3

= $26.57 per share

Therefore stock price of 25000 share ex dividend is = $26.57 * 25000

= $6,64,250

Balancesheet after dividends are paid =

Total equity = $6,64,250

Fixed Asset = $5,40,750

Cash remain after paying dividend = $156000 - (25000 * 1.3)

= $156000 - $32500

= $1,23,500

Thus total of fixed asset and cash = $540750 + $123500

= $6,64,250

Total equity after dividend = $6,64,250 (as calculated above.)

Thus total of balancesheet = $6,64,250
