Corporations often distribute profits to their shareholders in the form of dividends, which are simply checks mailed out to shareholders. Suppose that you have the chance to buy a share in a fashion company called Rogue Designs for $35 and that the company will pay dividends of $2 per year on that share every year. What is the annual percentage rate of return? Next, suppose that you and other investors could get a 12 percent per year rate of return by owning the stocks of other very similar fashion companies. If investors care only about rates of return, what should happen to the share price of Rogue Designs? (Hint: This is an arbitrage situation.)

Suppose $2 million of your investment is structured as debt and the remaining $8 million is equity. What happens each year after the company is set up? Well, using the $4 million EBIT, the company will first pay $2 million 50% = $1 million interest to you (as a debt investor). Then, on the remaining $4 $1 = $3 million of EBIT, the company pays corporate taxes of $3 20% = $0.6 million and is left with $2.4 million, which will be paid out to you (the equity holder) as dividend. Income Statement EBIT 4 -Interest expense 1 -Corporate taxes .6 = Net income of 2.4 million Therefore, the total returns to you (as an investor) is $1 million in interest and $2.4 million in dividends, which is a total of $3.4 million.4 Uncle Sam collected $0.6 million.
