Explanation:

Given :

Corporate tax rate = 35%

Before the tax EPS = $4.6

After the tax EPS =  before tax x (1 - corporate tax rate )

                            = 4.6 x (1 - 35%)

                            = 2.99

The retained earnings = $ 1

So the dividends received = EPS after tax - retained earnings

                            = 2.99 - 1

                            = 1.99

Tax on dividend = 13.1%

Number of total shares hold = 95,894

Value of dividends received = dividend received x (1 - tax rate) x number of shares.

                                              = 1.99 x (1 - 13.1%) x 95,894

                                              = $ 165,830.45

So the value of the dividends received after tax is $ 165,830
