    Answer: $89.68

    Explanation:

    The Ex-dividend measures how much a stock price drops as a result of the disbursement of dividends. It is calculated by subtracting the dividend from the current stock price.

    In the above question the IRS require that taxes be withheld at the time that the dividend is paid.

    This means that taxes have to be accounted for first before ex - dividend is calculated.

    After tax dividend = 5.40 * (1 - 0.2)

    After tax dividend = $4.32

    Solving for Ex-dividend gives,

    = 94.00 - 4.32

    = $89.68

    The ex-dividend price will be $89.68
