A company that has been growing rapidly announces that it is splitting its stock 3:2 and increasing its cash dividend by 20%. Prior to the announcement, the stock was trading at $60 and the dividend yield was 10%. What will be the next dividend paid per share?
A: $1.20

Rationale: Another question that is more annoying than difficult. When the stock was trading at $60, it was paying an annual cash dividend of 10% of $60 = $6.00 per share. After the 3:2 split, for every 2 shares held, there will now be 3 shares. This is the same as 1.5:1. The new share price will be $60 / 1.5 = $40. The new annual dividend amount per share before the increase will be $6.00 / 1.5 = $4.00. If this dividend is increased by 20%, the new annual rate will be $4.80, and the new quarterly dividend payment per share will be $4.80 / 4 = $1.20

Suppose an economist believes that the price level in the economy is directly related to the money supply, or the amount of money circulating in the economy. the economist proposes the following relationship: p=a x m - p=price level - m=money supply - a=a composite of other factors, including real gdp, that change very slowly over time. how might an economist gather empirical data to test the proposed relationship between money and the price level? an economist would persuade the federal reserve to change the money supply to various levels, and observe the resulting changes in the price level. unlike researchers in the hard sciences, economists cannot study complex relationships using data. economists do not usually develop theoretical models of the economy but only analyze summary statistics about the current state of the economy. an economist would look for data on past changes in the money supply, and note the resulting changes in the price level
