Answer 1

$2.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for what is the current dividend per share

First step is to calculate the Dividend yield

Dividend yield= 1/2 (.104)

Dividend yield= .052

Now let calculate the current dividend per share

Current dividend per share=(.052*57 per share)/(1+0.052)

Current dividend per share= 2.964/1.052

Current dividend per share=$2.82

Therefore the Current dividend per share will be $2.82
