Harris Corp has 4 million outstanding common shares, and paid $2.15 per share in dividends last year. The current share price is $28. For the past 6 years the company has maintained a policy of paying out 65% of earnings as cash dividends. Exhibit below contains the projected balance sheet for Harris Corp for the upcoming year end, assuming no dividends. Earnings after tax are projected at $14,153,846.15.

a). If Harris Corp maintains its steady 65% cash dividend payout policy, what will be the total cash dividend payout and the total debt-to-equity ratio following the payout. What dividend payment will a holder of 300 common shares receive? Show your calculations.

b). Suppose that Harris Corp retains all its cash in order to finance the purchase of a large piece of land that will be used for future development of a new production centre. Instead of a cash dividend, a 30% stock dividend will be paid. Assess the impact of a stock dividend as follows:

i). What will the holder of 300 common shares receive?

ii). How will the balance sheet change, given the stock dividend, and what will the total debt-to-equity ratio be if earnings are projected to be unchanged after the land purchase?

iii). What can this same shareholder expect to receive in cash dividends next year if Harris returns to its steady 65% cash dividend payout policy?

c). Suppose that Harris has no investment plans and would like to payout 65% of its earnings to shareholders in the form of a share repurchase this year, and then will return to its policy of paying cash dividends in its future years. Earnings are projected to be unchanged. Assess the impact of a share repurchase as follows:

i). Calculate the number of shares Harris can repurchase if the share price remains at $28.

ii). Calculate the number of shares that will remain outstanding.

iii). In the next year, when the cash dividends are resumed, Calculate the per-share dividend and amount of dividends to be received by the former owner of 300 shares.

d). Referring to your analysis in part a) to c) briefly explain which of the three policies would be most attractive to shareholders.

5.One way to value a share of stock is the dividend growth, or growing perpetuity, model. Consider the following: The dividend payout ratio is 1 minus b, where b is the “retention” or “plowback” ratio.
So, the dividend next year will be the earnings next year, E1, times 1 minus the retention ratio. The most commonly used equation to calculate the sustainable growth rate the return on equity times the retention
ratio. Substituting these relationships into the dividend growth model, we get the following equation to calculate the price of share of stock today.
P0= E1(1-b) / Rs-ROE*b
What are the implications of this result in terms of whether the company should pay a dividend or upgrade and expand its manufacturing capability? Explain.

6. Does the question of whether the company should pay a dividend depend on whether the company is organized as a corporation or an LLC?

4. Another option discussed by Tom, Jessica, and Nolan would be to begin a regular dividend payment to shareholders. How would you evaluate this proposal?
