Answer:
$70,400
Explanation:
The company has:
Number of Shares = 35,000
Par value = $2.25
Outstanding = 22,000
The question requires that we find the size of dividend that must be paid if each share receives $3.20:
Only Outstanding shares are included in dividends contribution.
So to pay 22,000 shares at $3.20
= 22,000 x $3.20
= $70,400
