Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Stock price before ex-dividend is $129, dividends of $0.625 per share, and market price of stock after the ex-dividend is $129.

The formula to calculate the returns:

Returns=Stock price before ex-dividend+DividendsStock price after the ex-dividendStock price after the ex-dividend

Compute the returns:

Returns=Stock price before ex-dividend+DividendsStock price after the ex-dividendStock price after the ex-dividend=$129.67+$0.625$129$129=1%

Hence, the return is 1%.

Therefore, the return is not a much big return so the firm must have a capital to be invested in for a day to earn the required return.
