Expert Solution
1. option a is correct
On ex-dividend date, the share price falls by the amount of dividend and if sells on the next date, he incurs loss.
2. Market capitalization=number of shares*price
15,900,000=2,000,000*Price
Price of share=15,900,000/2,000,000=7.95
Option a is correct
3. Future value=Present value*(1+interest rate)^n=15,000*(1+3.5%)^6=15000*1.229255=$18438.83
Option c is correct
