Answer:
Cash flow= $64,847
Explanation:
Giving the following information: 
Sellin price= $72,376
Tax rate= 25%
Book value= $43,070
<u>First, we need to calculate the gain from the sale and the tax:</u>
Gain= 72,376 - 43,070= $29,036
Tax= gain*tax rate
Tax= 29,036*0.25= $7,259
<u>Now, we can calculate the after-tax cash flow:</u>
<u></u>
Gain= 29,036
Tax= (7,259)
Book value= 43,070
Cash flow= $64,847
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
What is the expected dividend yield for Portman's stock today? 
d. 6.40%
Suppose Portman is considering issuing 62,500 new shares at a price of $26.78 per share. If the new shares are sold to outside investors, by how much will Judy's investment in Portman Industries be diluted on a per-share basis? 
a. $0.52 per share
Thus, Judy's investment will be diluted, and Judy will experience a total loss of $0.52 x 7,500 = $3,900
Explanation:
cost of equity = Re = risk free rate of return + (Beta × market premium) = 5% + (0.90 x 6%) = 10.4%
dividend in one year = $1.68 x 120% = $2.016
intrinsic stock price = $2.016 / (10.4% - 4%) = $31.50
expected dividend yield = dividend / stock price = $2.016 / $31.50 = 6.4% 
Judy's loss per share = ($31.50 - $26.78) x (62,500 / 562,500) = $0.5244
