Chapter 15, Problem 9P

Residual Distribution Policy

Harris Company must set its investment and dividend policies for the coming year. It has three independent projects from which to choose, each of which requires a $3 million investment. These projects have different levels of risk, and therefore different costs of capital. Their projected IRRs and costs of capital are as follows:

Project A: Cost of capital = 17%; IRR = 20%

Project B: Cost of capital = 13%; IRR = 10%

Project C: Cost of capital = 7%; IRR = 9%

Harris intends to maintain its 35% debt and 65% common equity capital structure, and its net income is expected to be $4,750,000. If Harris maintains its residual dividend policy (with all distributions in the form of dividends), what will its payout ratio be?

Quantitative Problem: Lane Industries is considering three independent projects, each of which requires a $2.7 million investment. The estimated internal rate of return (IRR) and cost of capital for these projects are presented here: Project H (high risk): Cost of capital = 14% IRR = 16% Project M (medium risk): Cost of capital = 9% IRR = 7% Project L (low risk): Cost of capital = 6% IRR = 7% Note that the projects' costs of capital vary because the projects have different levels of risk. The company's optimal capital structure calls for 40% debt and 60% common equity, and it expects to have net income of $3,300,000. If Lane establishes its dividends from the residual dividend model, what will be its payout ratio? Round your answer to two decimal places.  %
