= 1.4+30/1.10

= 31.4/1.10

= 28.5

the current price of the stock is approximately 28.5 dollars

b. (30+2 /28.5)-1

= 32/28.5 - 1

= 0.1228

= 12.28%

expected before tax rate is 12.28%

c. 3(1-0.3)+30 / 1.10

= 3*0.7+30/1.10

= $29.18

= (3$ + 30-29.18)/29.18

= 0.1309

= 13.09%

it is now higher here given that given that a greater dividend causes more tax burden.
