B.1%

C.$0.19

D. $1.82

Explanation:

will the stock price change to reflect the value of the dividend

b. Calculation for Formaggio’s dividend yield

Using this formula

Dividend yield = dividend/share price

Let plug in the formula

= .20/20 = 1%

c. Calculation of how much the stock price is likely to fall

0.20*(1 – 15%) = P*(1 – 10%)

Solve for P = $0.19

d. Calculation of How much is the stock price likely to fall Suppose that the company decides to issue a 10% stock dividend instead of a cash dividend.

$1,000,000 + (1,000,000 * 10%)

$1,000,00+$100,000

= 1,100,000 total shares

Hence,

$20,000,000 / 1,100,000 = $18.18 per share

$20 – 18.18 = $1.82 fall
