Expert Solution

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
