1. Your goal is to increase your firm's share price. You will do this by changing the dividend payout rate.The dividend payout rate is initially .80 = 80% of income paid out as dividends. Thus your firm's retention rate is .20 = 20% = 1 - .80.Your firm has net income of $10, an initial share price of $60, and return on new investment of .25 = 25%. You cut the dividend payout rate from .80 to.60. There is no change in the return on new investment. Find the initial dividend and r (before you reduce the dividend payout rate)
