Tijuana Brass Instruments Company treats dividends as a residual decision. It expects to generate $2 million in net earnings after taxes in the coming year. The company has an all-equity capital structure, and its cost of equity capital is 15 percent. The company treats this cost as the opportunity cost of “internal” equity financing (retained earnings). Because of flotation costs and underpricing, “external” equity financing (new common stock) is not relied on until internal equity financing is exhausted. How much in dividends should be paid if it has $3 million in projects whose expected returns exceed 16 percent?
