FMEx-div share price confusion

MMohammad5y ago
Good day, Sir in this question, Im confused on to why only 0.08 is deducted from the cum-div share price and not the interim dividend as well to determine the ex-div share price? Geeh Co paid an interim dividend of $0.06 per ordinary share on 31 October 20X6 and declared a final dividend of $0.08 on 31 December 20X6. The ordinary shares in Geeh Co are trading at a cum-div price of $1.83. What is the dividend yield (to one decimal place of a percentage point)?

The difference between the ex-div and cum-div share price is the dividend about to be paid (and any previous dividends are not relevant). I do explain this (and why) in my free lectures.
