Consider the data in the following table, which shows the close price of a stock over $4$ days. Suppose that after closing on $1/2,$ there was a $2$for$-1$ stock split. In other words, the prices for days $1/31/4$ are from after the stock split, and prices for days $1/11/2$ are from before the stock split.

Fill in the adjusted close price for days $1/1$ and $1/2$ in the table.

Day

Close Price

Adjusted Close Price

$1/1$ $$38$

$

$1/2$ $$32$

$

$1/3$ $$18\mathrm{.}5$ $$18\mathrm{.}5$

$1/4$ $$10\mathrm{.}75$ $$10\mathrm{.}75$

Suppose the price of a stock was $$38$ before a dividend of $$4$ was distributed.

The adjusted close price of the stock before the ex$-$dividend date would be
