(a) $ 134,313
(b) $134,313
(c) $ 188,038

Option(A) is correct.

Explanation:

Earnings before tax = $3.90

Tax rate on dividend payment = 12.5%

Corporate Tax rate = 35%

Shareholder holds = 100,000 shares

Earnings after tax = $3.90 × (1 – 35%)

                              = $2.535

Valiant Corp retained $1 of after tax earnings for reinvestment,

Therefore,

Value available for dividend payment = $2.535 - $1

                                                                = $1.535

After tax dividend received by shareholder for one share = $1.535 × (1 – 12.50%)

                                                                                                 = $1.343125

Total dividend received by shareholder = 100,000 × $1.343125

                                                                      = $134,312.50
