Explanation of Solution

Calculation of retained earnings:

Retained earnings available=$11,000,000$2(1,000,000)=$11,000,000$2,000,000=$9,000,000

Retained earnings availability is equals the required equity to find new capital budget.

Calculation of capital budget using required equity:

Requiredequity=Capitalbudget(Targetequityratio)$9,000,000=Capitalbudget(0.7)Capitalbudget=$12,857,143

Hence, capital budget is $12,857,143

Therefore, if Company R cuts its capital budget from $15 million to $12.86 million, it will retain its DPS $2.00, its present capital structure and still follow its residual dividend policy.
