Step 1 : Calculation of current Share price :

Assume that share price is x

Assets = Liability +Equity

$600 Million = 250 Million + 20 Million x

$600 Million - 250 Million = 20 Million x

$350 Million = 20 Million x

x = $350 Million / 20

x = $17.50 Per Share

 

Step 2 : Calculation of Dividend Per share :

= $70 Million / 20 million share

= $7,00,00,000 / 2,00,00,0

= $3.50 Per Share

 

Step 3 : Share price after Dividend :

= $17.50 - $3.50

= $14

Share price after dividend will be $14 per share.
