Case Study: Mini-Case: Integrated Waveguide Technologies, (end of Chapter 14).
Respond to Questions a (1), b, c, (1, 3) and e.
A – 1. What is meant by the term “distribution policy”? How has the mix of dividend payouts and stock repurchases changed over time?
Distribution policy is the manner in which a firm decides to pay profits to its investors. It could be either through dividends or stock repurchases and the amount that they payout depends

upon how much they need to keep for future investment opportunities. Over the years dividend payout have reduced and increased stock repurchase program are being carried out by companies.
B - Discuss the effects on distribution policy consistent with: (1) the signaling hypothesis (also called the information content hypothesis) and (2) the clientele effect.
Signaling content
– Raising dividend is a signal that managers forecast good future earnings and leads to an increase in stock price, and the opposite if dividends are reduced.
Investor’s view dividend changes as signals of management’s view of the future. Managers hate to cut dividends, so will not raise dividends unless they think raise is sustainable. Therefore, a stock price increase at time of a dividend increase could reflect higher expectations for future EPS, not a desire for dividends
Clientele effect – Different types of investors some which favor a higher dividend policy vs a low dividend policy. Impede changes in dividend policy. Although investors do not want to switch companies because of changes in payout policies as taxes and brokerage, managers have to be careful when deciding to change, dividend policies as stockholder shifts can occur, which can result in costs and capital gain taxes
C – 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 model approach to determine IWT’s total dollar distribution. Assume
for now that the distribution is in the form of a dividend. Suppose IWT has one hundred million shares.
Case Study
3
Net Income $140.00
Target equity ratio 80%
Total capital budget $112.50
Number of shares one hundred
Distribution = Net Income - [(Target equity ratio) * (Total capital budget)]
Capital budget $112.50
Net income $140
Required equity (Equity ratio X Capital budget)
Distributions paid (NI – Required equity) $50
Payout ratio (Dividend/NI) 35.71%
Dividend per share $0.50
What is the forecasted dividend payout ratio? What is the forecasted divided per share? What would it happen to the payout ratio and DPS if net income were forecasted to decrease to $90 million? To increase to $160 million?
Net income was forecasted to decrease to $90 million
Net Income $90.00
Capital budget $112.50
Net income $90
Required equity (Equity ratio X Capital budget)
Distributions paid (NI – Required equity) $0
Payout ratio (Dividend/NI) 0.00%
Dividend per share $0.00
