2. National Business Machine Co. (NBM) has $4.9 million of extra cash after taxes have been paid. NBM has two choices to make use of this cash. One alternative is to invest the cash in financial assets. The resulting investment income will be paid out as a special dividend at the end of three years. In this case, the firm can invest in either Treasury bills yielding 3% or 5% preferred stock.

Assume the investor has a 31% personal income tax rate, which is applied to interest income and preferred stock dividends. The personal dividend tax rate is 15% on common stock dividends.
