Let's address each part of the question step-by-step using the given information.
1. Difference between the closing price today and the closing price on the previous trading day:
We are given the closing price today and the net change:
- Closing price today: \[tex]$30.38
- Net change: 0.89
To find the closing price on the previous trading day, we subtract the net change from today's closing price:
\[
\text{Closing price on the previous trading day} = \text{Closing price today} - \text{Net change} = 30.38 - 0.89 = \$[/tex]29.49
\]
Therefore, the difference is:
[tex]\[
\$29.49
\][/tex]
2. Amount of income per share paid to a stockholder in the last 12 months:
This is explicitly given as the dividend:
- Dividend: \[tex]$0.46
Therefore, the amount of income per share is:
\[
\$[/tex]0.46
\]
3. The last price paid for a share of stock on this trading day:
This is the closing price today:
- Closing price today: \[tex]$30.38
Therefore, the last price paid for a share is:
\[
\$[/tex]30.38
\]
So, the final answers are:
[tex]\[
\begin{aligned}
\text{1. Difference:} & \quad \$29.49 \\
\text{2. Amount of income:} & \quad \$0.46 \\
\text{3. Last price paid:} & \quad \$30.38 \\
\end{aligned}
\][/tex]
