    The answer is: liquidating dividend should be $62.07.

    Explanation:

    Let denote the amount of liquidating dividend to be X = > The present value of liquidating dividend amount is X/1.1^4; given discount rate is 10% and liquidating dividend will be paid in 4 year times.

    We have:

    Present value of regular dividend stream + Present value of liquidating dividend = Current share price

    => (2.4/10%) x [1 - 1.1^ (-4) ] + X/1.1^4 = 50 X/1.1^4 = $42.39 X = 1.1^4 x 42.392 = $62.07.

    So, The answer is: liquidating dividend should be $62.07.
