Company A has 4 investors. Investor 1 has 100 shares. Investor 2 has 150 shares. Investor 3 has 500 shares and Investor 4 has 625 shares.

Answer 1

Answer:

Investor 1: $300

Investor 2: $450

Investor 3: $1500

Investor 4: $1875

Explanation:

Investor 1: $300

- since this investor owns 100 shares, and they make $3 PER share that they own because of the dividend, they would earn 3*100 (or three dollars per EACH share that they own) this means that they will recieve $300 at the time the dividend is paid to each investor

Investor 2: $450

- same process as before except they own 150 shares (150*3)

Investor 3: $1500

- same process as before except they own 500  shares (500*3)

Investor 4: $1875

- same process as before except they own 625 shares (625*3)

I hope this helped :)
