Solution

The total dollar amount for each of the four cash dividends can be calculated by multiplying the dividend per share by the number of shares outstanding at the time the dividend was declared.

  1. January 5: 0.50pershare35,000shares=0.50 per share * 35,000 shares = 17,500
  2. April 5: 0.50pershare35,000shares=0.50 per share * 35,000 shares = 17,500
  3. July 5: 0.50pershare35,000shares=0.50 per share * 35,000 shares = 17,500
  4. October 5: 0.50pershare41,000shares=0.50 per share * 41,000 shares = 20,500 (Note: The number of shares increased due to the stock dividend declared on July 31 and issued on August 14)

So, the total dollar amount for each of the four cash dividends are 17,500,17,500, 17,500, 17,500,and17,500, and 20,500 respectively.
