A man owned 75 shares of stock worth $50 each. The corporation declared a dividend of 8%, payable stock. how many shares did he then own?
Answered by huy
75 shares x $50 = $3750
8% payable stock => it means 8% of the total value of 75 shares => 3750x8% =300
but with $300, the man can buy 4 shares more so the total shares he own then are 79.

So if the remainder of 4 able to be bought should there be 79 or 81 as that is the closest to the amount that was asked?

Huy, if the dividend has a value of $300 I believe that would afford a purchase of 6 more shares.
(6 x 50 = 300)
So, 75 + 6 = 81.
Does that make sense?
