Answer: A, D, E

Last year’s profit before interest and tax (PBIT) = $4.0m

Objective: PBIT to increase by 10% →

PBITthis year=4.0×1.10=4.4m\text{PBIT}_{\text{this year}} = 4.0 \times 1.10 = 4.4\text{m}PBITthis year​=4.0×1.10=4.4m

New long-term debt = $2m at 5% interest →

Interest = 2.0×0.05=0.1m2.0 \times 0.05 = 0.1\text{m}2.0×0.05=0.1m

Profit before tax (PBT):

4.4−0.1=4.3m4.4 - 0.1 = 4.3\text{m}4.4−0.1=4.3m

Tax at 20%:

Tax=4.3×0.20=0.86m\text{Tax} = 4.3 \times 0.20 = 0.86\text{m}Tax=4.3×0.20=0.86m

Earnings after tax:

Earnings=4.3−0.86=3.44m\text{Earnings} = 4.3 - 0.86 = 3.44\text{m}Earnings=4.3−0.86=3.44m

Dividend payout ratio = 40% of earnings:

Total dividends=3.44×0.40=1.376m\text{Total dividends} = 3.44 \times 0.40 = 1.376\text{m}Total dividends=3.44×0.40=1.376m

Shares in issue = 2m → Dividend per share:

DPS=1.3762=0.688≈$0.69\text{DPS} = \frac{1.376}{2} = 0.688 \approx \$0.69DPS=21.376​=0.688≈$0.69

So, correct DPS by calculation is about $0.69 per share. Since none of the given options (A–D) equals this, there is likely a typo or omission in the provided options, but the financially correct figure is $0.69.
