Chapter 15, Problem 3MC
- (1) Assume that IWT has completed its IPO and has a $112.5 million capital budget planned for the coming year. You have determined that its present capital structure (80% equity and 20% debt) is optimal, and its net income is
forecasted at $140 million. Use the residual distribution approach to determine IWT’s total dollar distribution. Assume for now that the distribution is in the form of a dividend. Suppose IWT has 100 million shares of stock outstanding. What is the forecasted dividend payout ratio? What is the forecasted dividend per share? What would happen to the payout ratio and DPS if net income were forecasted to decrease to $90 million? To increase to $160 million? - (2) In general terms, how would a change in investment opportunities affect the payout ratio under the residual distribution policy?
- (3) What are the advantages and disadvantages of the residual policy? (Hint: Don’t neglect signaling and clientele effects.)

The ABC Corporation expects next year’s net income to be Taka 20 million. The firm’s debt ratio is currently 40%.

According to the residual distribution model (assuming all payments are in the form of dividends), how large should Wei’s dividend payout ratio be next year? Provide your opinions on the following concepts: Dividend irrelevance theory; signaling theory, and clientele effect.

A firm expects to have a net income of $8,000,000 during the next year.
Its target capital structure is 50% debt and 50% equity. The company has
determined that the optimal capital budget for the coming year is

distributions in the form of dividends) to determine the coming year's
dividend, then what is the firm's dividend payout ratio?
