Place your answer in dollars and cents without the dollar sign.
Share Price before the Dividend = Equity Value / no of shares
= 27000 / 3000
= 9
Dividend paid = 3000 * 0.5 = 1500
Cash After dividend = 10,000 - 1500 = 8500
Other Assets = 17000
Equity will be = Cash + other Assets
= 8500 + 17000
= 25500
Share Value = 25,500 / 3000
=$ 8.5 / share
