Explanation / Answer

No of stock dividend issued = 27000*25% = 6750

Total no of stock outstanding after stock dividend = 27000 + 6750 = 33750

Equity Value = 758700

Ex-dividend price = Equity Value/Total no of stock outstanding after stock dividend

Ex-dividend price = 758700/33750

Ex-dividend price = $ 22.48

Answer

Ex-dividend price = $ 22.48
