Answer:

$4.55

Explanation:

The corporate tax rate is applied to the net income, not the dividends

And the personal tax rate is applied to non-dividends income so it is not relevant here.

The stockholder would receive $5.00 before taxes. and it will pay 15% for this in taxes.

$5 x 15% = $0.45 dividend taxes

after tax $5 - $0.45 = $4.55
