a. $0.00
b. $15.00
c. $75.00
d. $150.00
e. None of the above.
Answer:
a. $0.00
Explanation:
Given:
For dividend payments:
Record date is Tuesday, January 14.
Ex-dividend date is two business days before the date or record which implies ex-dividend date is 10th January, Friday.
If you bought 200 shares of PDT stock on Monday, January 13 which is one business day after ex-dividend date, you would not get dividends.
As such cash dividends you receive on January 28 = $0
