The Bubba Corporation has 900,000 of common outstanding and holds 100,000 shares as treasury stock. At the end of the third quarter $450,000 is distributed as a dividend on the common.

How much is the dividend per share?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

$0.45. Since treasury stock does not receive dividends, divide $450,000 by the outstanding 100,000 shares to arrive at $0.45 per share.

Hold up, I'm getting a different answer here. Maybe I should've paid more attention in Accounting 101. Oh well, I'm just going to guess and hope for the best - C) $2.00 per share. Fingers crossed!

Alright, time to put on my math hat. Let's see, $450,000 divided by 900,000 shares... Yup, option A is the winner! $0.45 per share, easy peasy.

I agree with Izetta, $0.50 makes sense because $450,000 divided by 900,000 shares is $0.50 per share.

Woah, this is a tricky one! Gotta remember to subtract the treasury shares from the outstanding ones. I'm leaning towards B - $0.50 per share. But I could be wrong, these dividend questions always mess with my head.
