total earnings = 390,000,000
no of common shares outstanding = 243,750,000
dividend payout ratio = 50% = 195,000,000
so
(b) dividend per share = 195,000,000/ 243,750,000 =0.8 per share
(c) dividend yield = dividend per share/market price = 0.8/55 =0.01454 = 1.454%
(d) the investor prefers regular cash flow by way of dividend and it is tax free source of income , so they may leave this company and invest in other companies where the dividend yield is higher.
4.
holding =1500 shares, stock split 2-1
stock split 2-1 means, one share for every one share held
so no of shares will double and price will be half
total value of shares does not change
(a) present value of all shares = 215 x 1500 =322500
(b) after stock split no of shares will be doubled = 1500 x2 =3000
now new price per share = 215/2 =107.5
so total value = 107.5 x 3000 =322500
no change in total value of shares
5.
new price per share = 240/3 =80
the EPS will be 1/3rd of the original EPS
e.g., if EPS was 21, stock split 3-1, then new EPS will be 21/3 = 7
