    Total capital gain will be $1360800

    Explanation:

    We have given EPS = $4.20

    Total number of shares = 2000000

    So total Net Income = EPS x No. of shares = $4.20 x 2000000 = $8,400,000

    Dividend = 60% x 8,400,000 = $5040000

    25% shareholder participated in dividend reinvestment

    So Capital raised = 27% x $5040000 = $1360800

    So total capital gain will be $1360800
