Answer:

$5

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the dollar amount of dividends that he received for owning the stock during the year

First step is to calculate the total profit earned

Total profit=$27*37%

Total profit=$10

Second step is calculate the Value of stock with profits earned

Value of stock=$27+$10

Value of stock=$37

Now let calculate the the dollar amount of dividends

Dividend=$37-$32

Dividend=$5

Therefore the dollar amount of dividends that he received for owning the stock during the year is $5
