    Diana's dividend income will be $0.

    Tax basis of Diana in the new stock is $56.25 per share

    Explanation:

    Since no dividend is declared, Diana will not have dividend income, i. e., her dividend income will be $0.

    The tax basis of Diana in the new stock can be calculated as follows:

    Existing shares = 300

    Additional shares to receive = (300/5) * 3 = 180

    Total new shares = 300 + 180 = 480

    Tax basis of Diana in the new stock = $27,000 : 480 = $56.25 per share
