Explanation of Solution

Calculate residual dividend.

Given,

Net income is $8,000,000.

Retained earnings are $6,000,000.

Formula to calculate residual dividend,

Residualdividend=NetincomeRetainedearnings

Substitute $8,000,000 for net income and $6,000,000 for retained earnings.

Residualdividend=$8,000,000$6,000,000=$2,000,000

So,residual dividend is $2,000,000.

Calculate dividend per share.

Given,

Residual dividend is $2,000,000.

Shares outstanding are 1,000,000.

Formula to calculate dividend per share,

Dividendpershare=ResidualdividendSharesOutstanding

Substitute $2,000,000 for residual dividend and 1,000,000 for shares outstanding.

Dividendpershare=$2,000,0001,000,000=$2

So, dividend per share is $2.

Given,

Residual dividend is $2,000,000.

Net income is $8,000,000.

Formula to calculate payout ratio,

Payoutratio=ResidualdividendNetincome

Substitute $2,000,000 for residual dividend and $8,000,000 for net income.

Payoutratio=$2,000,000$8,000,000=0.25=25%

Explanation of Solution

Calculate retained earnings.

Given,

Net income is $8,000,000.

Shares outstanding are 1,000,000.

Dividend per share is $3.

Formula to calculate retained earnings available,

Retaindearningsavailable=[NetIncomeDividendpershare(Outstandingshares)]

Substitute $8,000,000 for net income, 1,000,000 for outstanding shares and $3 for dividend per share.

Retaindearningsavailable=$8,000,000$3(1,000,000)=$5,000,000

Answer to Problem 10SP

No, it is not possible.

Explanation of Solution

  • It is not possible because at $3 dividend per share the retained earnings available are of only $5,000,000.
  • If the company doesn’t want to change its current capital structure, then the equity of $6,000,000 will be required and to arrange this amount of equity, company has to issue additional stock of $1,000,000.
Conclusion

So, to maintain current capital structure, it is required to issue additional stock of $1,000,000.

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.

    WACC Estimation On January 1, the total market value of the Tysseland Company was $60 million. During the year, the company plans to raise and invest $30 million in new projects. The firm’s present market value capital structure, shown here, is considered to be optimal. There is no short-term debt. New bonds will have an 8% coupon rate, and they will be sold at par. Common stock is currently selling at $30 a share. The stockholders’ required rate of return is estimated to be 12%, consisting of a dividend yield of 4% and an expected constant growth rate of 8%. (The next expected dividend is $1.20, so the dividend yield is $1.20/$30 = 4%.) The marginal tax rate is 40%. In order to maintain the present capital structure, how much of the new investment must be financed by common equity? Assuming there is sufficient cash flow for Tysseland to maintain its target capital structure without issuing additional shares of equity, what is its WACC? Suppose now that there is not enough internal cash flow and the firm must issue new shares of stock. Qualitatively speaking, what will happen to the WACC? No numbers are required to answer this question.
