Question

The charter of a corporation provides for the issuance of 99,983 shares of common stock. Assume that 38,266 shares were originally issued and 4,896 were subsequently reacquired. What is the amount of cash dividends to be paid if a $4 per share dividend is declared

Answer 1

$1,337,480

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividend is paid on outstanding shares. So, the amount of cash dividends to be paid = [38,266 - 4,896] * $4 = $33,4370 * $4 = $1,337,480
