Chapter 19, Problem 3CQ

Dividend Policy It is sometimes suggested that firms should follow a “residual” dividend policy. With such a policy, the main idea is that a firm should focus on meeting its investment needs and maintaining its desired debt-equity ratio. Having done so, a firm pays out any leftover, or residual, income as dividends. What do you think would be the chief drawback to a residual dividend policy?

Scenario one: Under what circumstances would it be appropriate for a firm to use different cost of capital for its different operating divisions? If the overall firm WACC was used as the hurdle rate for all divisions, would the riskier division or the more conservative divisions tend to get most of the investment projects? Why? If you were to try to estimate the appropriate cost of capital for different divisions, what problems might you encounter? What are two techniques you could use to develop a rough estimate for each division’s cost of capital?
