I need answer in word format with full working. not in excel
a) Ex- dividend price formula
Stock Price= $12
Dividend(D)= $2.5
Dividend tax rate= 15%
Price Change= D(1-Td)=2.5(1-0.15)=$2.125
Ex-dividend price= (12-2.125)= $9.875
b) total outstanding shares= 2 million
Share price= $9.875
Current value of firm's equity= $9.875x2 million= $19.75 million
c) Net profit for Golden Sand resort= $1,540,000
Amount that needs to be reinvested= $845000
Dividend amount that Golden Sand resort can pay= 1540000-845000= $695,000
