Answer:

$113.31

Explanation:

Estees park has declared a dividend of $6.70 per share

The dividend is taxed at 30%

= 30/100

= 0.3

The company stock sells for $118 per share

The first step is to calculate the after tax dividend

After tax dividend= 6.70(1-0.3)

= 6.70×0.7

= $4.69

Therefore, the ex-dividend price can be calculated as follows

Ex-dividend price= $118-$4.69

= $113.31

Hence the ex-dividend price is $113.31
