Respuesta :

Answer:

Dividend per share is 5.55.

Explanation:

Common stock has the market price = $57 per share

The total market value of the firm = $5130000

The liquidating amount of its division = $500000

Now we have to find the amount per share of the dividend, below is the calculation.

Number of outstanding shares  = 5130000 / 57 = 90000

Dividend = 500000

Dividend per share = 500000 / 90000 = 5.55
