Explanation / Answer

1.

Current Stock Price = Market value of total equity / Number of share outstanding

= $610,000 / 15,000

= $40.67.

Current Stock price is $40.67.

2.

Dividend per share = $1.20.

stock is going ex dividend tomorrow. So,

Stock price tomorrow = $40.67 - $1.20

= $39.47

Stock price tomorrow will be $39.47.

c.

Total Dividend paid = 15,000 × $1.20

= $18,000.

So value of equity tomorrow = $610,000 - $18,000

= $592,000

Total value of cash = $140,000 - $18,000

= $122,000
