Question

Bayside Marina just announced it is decreasing its annual dividend from $1.48 per share to $1.45 per share effective immediately. If the dividend yield remains at its pre-announcement level, then you know the stock price:

Answer 1

Answer:

the stock price has decreased in the same proportion as the dividend.

Explanation:

Since we are told that the dividend yield remained the same, and the dividend decreased by 2.03%, we know that the price of the stock decreased by 2.03%.

= [($1.45 - $.148) / $1.48] x 100 = -2.03%
