Solution

The franking credit is calculated by dividing the dividend by the corporate tax rate and then subtracting the dividend from this result.

Here's the step-by-step calculation:

  1. Divide the dividend by (1 - corporate tax rate): 0.7/(10.34)=0.7 / (1 - 0.34) = 1.06 (rounded to two decimal places)
  2. Subtract the dividend from this result to get the franking credit: 1.061.06 - 0.7 = $0.36

So, the franking credit per share an investor would get under the imputation tax system is $0.36.
