RESIDUAL DIVIDEND MODEL Buena Terra Corporation is reviewing its capital budget for the upcoming year. It has paid a 3.00 dividend per share (DPS) for the past several years, and its shareholders expeet the dividend to remain constant for the next several years. The companys target capital structure is 60% equity and 40% debt, it has 1,000,000 shares of common equity outstanding, and its net Income is 8 million. The company forecasts that it will require 10 million to fund all of its profitable (i.e., positive NPV) projects for the upcoming year. a. If Buena Terra follows the residual dividend model, how much retained earnings will it need to fund its capital budget? b. If Buena Terra follows the residual dividend model, what will be the companys dividend per share and payout ratio for the upcoming year? c. If Buena Terra maintains its current 3.00 DPS for next year, how much retained earnings will be available for the firms capital budget? d. Can the company maintain its current capital structure, the 3.00 DPS, and a 10 million capital budget without having to raise new common stock? e. Suppose that Buena Terras management is firmly opposed to cutting the dividend; that is, it wants to maintain the 3.00 dividend for the next year. Also, assume that the company was committed to funding all profitable projects and was willing to issue more debt (along with the available retained earnings) to help finance the companys capital budget Assume that the resulting change in capital structure has a minimal effect on the companys composite cost of capital so that the capital budget remains at 10 million. What portion of this years capital budget would have to be financed with debt? f. Suppose once again that Buena Terras management wants to maintain the 3.00 DPS. In addition, the company wants to maintain its target capital structure (60% equity and 40% debt) and its 10 million capital budget. What is the minimum dollar amount of new common stock that the company would have to issue to meet each of its objectives? g. Now consider the case where Buena Terras management wants to maintain the 3.00 DPS and its target capital structure, but it wants to avoid issuing new common stock. The company is willing to cut its capital budget to meet its other objectives. Assuming that the companys projects are divisible, what will be the companys capital budget for the next year? h. What actions can a firm that follows the residual dividend model take when its forecasted retained earnings are less than the retained earnings required to fund its capital budget?

ALTERNATIVE DIVIDEND POLICIES Rubenstein Bros. Clothing is expecting to pay an annual dividend per share of 0.75 out of annual earnings per share of 2.25. Currently, Rubenstein Bros.' stock is selling for 12.50 per share. Adhering to the company's target capital structure, the firm has 10 million in total invested capital, of which 40% is funded by debt. Assume that the firm's book value of equity equals its market value. In past years, the firm has earned a return on equity (ROE) of 18%, which is expected to continue this year and into the foreseeable future. a. Based on this information, what long-run growth rate can the firm be expected to maintain? (Hint: g = Retention rate ROE.) b. What is the stock's required return? c. If the firm changed its dividend policy and paid an annual dividend of 1.50 per share, financial analysts would predict that the change in policy will have no effect on the firm's stock price or ROE. Therefore, what must be the firms new expected long-run growth rate and required return? d. Suppose instead that the firm has decided to proceed with its original plan of dis bursing 0.75 per share to shareholders, but the firm intends to do so in the form of a stock dividend rather than a cash dividend. The firm will allot new shares based on the current stock price of 12.50. In other words, for every 12.50 in dividends due to shareholders, a share of stock will be issued. How large will the stock dividend be relative to the firm's current market capitalist ion? (Hint. Remember that market capitalization = P0 number of shares outstanding.) e. If the plan in part d is implemented, how many new shares of stock will be issued, and by how much will the companys earnings per share be diluted?
ALTERNATIVE DIVIDEND POLICIES In 2017, Keenan Company paid dividends totaling 3,600,000 on net income of 10.8 million.

It Ls predicted that Keenan will not be able to maintain the 2018 level of earnings growth because the high 2018 earnings level is attributable to an exceptionally profitable new product line introduced that year. After 2018, the company will return to its previous 10% growth rate. Keenans target capital structure is 40% debt and 60% equity. a.

It uses a pure residual dividend policy (40% of the 8.4 million investment is financed with debt and 60% with common equity). 4. It employs a regular-dividend-plus-extras policy, with the regular dividend being based on the long-run growth rate and the extra dividend being set according to the residual dividend policy. b.
