Answer to Problem 14.2C

Ex-dividend price is $106.5.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

P Incorporation declares a dividend at $6 per share; the rate of tax of dividends is at 25%. New regulation declares that during the time of payment of dividends, taxes were withheld. The selling prices of stocks are $111 per share and the stock goes to ex-dividend.

Formulae:

The formula to calculate the ex-dividend price:

Ex-dividend price=Selling priceAfter tax dividend

The formula to calculate the after tax dividend:

After tax dividend=(Dividend per share before tax(Dividend per share before tax×Tax rate))

Compute after tax dividend:

After tax dividend=(Dividend per share before tax(Dividend per share before tax×Tax rate))=$6($6×0.25)=$61.5=$4.5

Hence, the dividend after tax is $4.5.

Compute ex dividend price:

Ex-dividend price=Selling priceAfter tax dividend=$111$4.5=$106.5

Hence, the ex-dividend price is $106.5.
