Answer: $67.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We should note that in a scenario whereby the stock goes ex-dividend, there'll be a reduction in the stock price. This can be calculated as:

Dividend = $5

Dividend after tax = $5 × (1 - tax rate)

= $5 × (1 - 15%)

= $5 × (1 - 0.15)

= $5 × 0.85

= $4.25

Then, the ex dividend price will then be:

= $71.50 - $4.25

= $67.25
