Expert Solution

GIVEN:

Dividend per share in one year= $0.6

Liquidating dividend= $60

required return on ECN stock = 18%

The Dividend, lily is supposed to receive by an year end

= =$6000

When Lily uses homemade dividends to create two equal annual dividend payments which is=$6000+$6000=$12000

Suppose the current price of the ECN stock is "x"

By the end of year one:

the price of the ECN stock rises above by 18% of the current price= x+18%of x= 1.18x

So,if we assume the current price of the ECN stock to be 100 or x=100 then, the price in the end of the year would be 118.

Current values of the 10,000 shares= $1000000

value of the shares in the one year= 118*1000= $118000

Total capital gain= 118000-100000= $18000

gain per share= 18000/10000= $18
