Answer:

$3.5 per share

Explanation:

After tax Return is the actual return that an investor receives from an investment in asset during a specific period of time after deducting the tax. If the investment is made in the stocks, It includes the dividend received and the price change of the stock.

Total return Received = Dividend + Price change = $5 + ($49 - $49 ) = $5

After tax Return = Total return During the period x ( 1 - tax rate)

Rate of Return = $5 ( 1 - 0.3 ) = $3.5 per share
