Each stock holder is paid $1,500 in cash dividends. But it doesn't say how many stock holders there are.

To determine the number of stockholders, you would need more information. Without knowing the total amount of cash dividends paid out and the dividend per share, it is not possible to determine the number of stockholders.

However, if we assume that each stockholder receives $1,500 in cash dividends and each stockholder received the same dividend amount, we can determine the number of stockholders by dividing the total amount paid in cash dividends by $1,500.

For example, if a total of $150,000 was paid out in cash dividends, you can calculate the number of stockholders by dividing $150,000 by $1,500:

Number of stockholders = Total cash dividends / Cash dividend per stockholder
Number of stockholders = $150,000 / $1,500
Number of stockholders = 100

In this case, there would be 100 stockholders. However, please note that this is just an assumption based on divided cash dividends being equal for each stockholder. The actual number of stockholders could be different and can only be determined with more specific information about the dividend distribution.
