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 company’s 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
- 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 company’s 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 firm’s 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 Terra’s 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 company’s capital budget Assume that the resulting change in capital structure has a minimal effect on the company’s composite cost of capital so that the capital budget remains at $10 million. What portion of this year’s capital budget would have to be financed with debt?
- f. Suppose once again that Buena Terra’s 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 Terra’s 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 company’s projects are divisible, what will be the company’s 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?
a.
To calculate: Amount of retained earnings required for funding the capital budget.
Introduction:
Residual Dividend Policy: Under the residual dividend policy, the company gives first preference to the current capital investment. The amount remaining after the capital investment is distributed among the shareholders as dividend.
Explanation of Solution
Calculate retained earnings.
Given,
Capital budget is $10,000,000.
Capital structure is 60% equity.
Formula to calculate retained earnings,
Substitute $10,000,000 for capital budget and 60% for equity %.
Retained earnings required to fund the capital budget is $6,000,000
b.
To calculate: Company’s dividend per share and payout ratio.
Explanation of Solution
Calculate residual dividend.
Given,
Net income is $8,000,000.
Retained earnings are $6,000,000.
Formula to calculate residual dividend,
Substitute $8,000,000 for net income and $6,000,000 for retained earnings.
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,
Substitute $2,000,000 for residual dividend and 1,000,000 for shares outstanding.
So, dividend per share is $2.
Calculate payout ratio.
Given,
Residual dividend is $2,000,000.
Net income is $8,000,000.
Formula to calculate payout ratio,
Substitute $2,000,000 for residual dividend and $8,000,000 for net income.
So, payout ratio is 25%.
The dividend per share is $2 while the payout ratio is 25%
c.
To calculate: Retained earnings at $3 dividend per share for the next year.
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,
Substitute $8,000,000 for net income, 1,000,000 for outstanding shares and $3 for dividend per share.
The retained earnings available will be of $5,000,000.
d.
To explain: Whether it is possible to maintain current capital structure at $3 dividend per share and the capital budget of $10 million without raising new stock.
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.
So, to maintain current capital structure, it is required to issue additional stock of $1,000,000.
e.
To calculate: Portion of capital budget to be financed for the debt.
Explanation of Solution
Calculate retained earnings.
Given,
Net income $8,000,000
Dividend $3,000,000
Formula to calculate retained earnings available,
Substitute $8,000,000 for net income and $3,000,000 for dividend.
So, retained earnings available are $5,000,000.
Calculateportion of capital budget financed with retained earnings.
Given,
Retained earnings are $5,000,000.
Capital budget is $10,000,000.
Formula to calculate portion of capital budget financed with retained earnings,
Substitute $10,000,000 for capital budget and $5,000,000 for retained earnings.
So, portion of capital budget financed with retained earnings is 50%.
Calculate portion of capital budget financed with debt.
Given,
Amount available for debt is $5,000,000.
Capital budget is $10,000,000.
Formula to calculate portion of capital budget financed with debt,
Substitute $10,000,000 for capital budget and $5,000,000 for amount available for debt.
So, portion of capital budget financed with debt is 50%.
f.
