Adjustment for Cash Dividend

1)Calulate cash amount: In case of cash dividend, you have identify how much cash you are going to get after record date. If face value of a share is 200 taka, then the price of 100 no. of shares is 100(shares)X 200(taka)= 20,000 taka. In case of 20% cash dividend, you will get 20,000tkX20%= 4,000tk for each 100 shares.

2)Calculate market price of 100 shares: If the price of each share was 1200tk on day-before-record date, then the current market price is 1200(tk)X 100(shares) = 1,20,000tk for each 100 shares.
3)Calculate adjustment:
Adjusted Price = (Current price of 100 shares - Calulated cash amount for
100 shares)/ 100

From the example, current market price of 100 shares is 1,20,000tk and calculated cash amount to be recieved from 100 shares is 4,000tk.
So the adjusted price = (1,20,000tk - 4,000tk)/ 100 = 1160tk
