In doing a five-year analysis of future dividends, the Dawson Corporation is considering the following two plans. The values represent dividends per share. Use Appendix B for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. Year Plan A $1.80 1.80 1.80 2.30 2.30 Plan B $0.60 2.10 0.30 3.00 1.50 a. How much in total dividends per share will be paid under each plan over five years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Total Dividends Plan A Plan B b-1. Mr. Bright, the Vice-President of Finance, suggests that stockholders often prefer a stable dividend policy to a highly variable one. He will assume that stockholders apply a lower discount rate to dividends that are stable. The discount rate to be used for Plan A is 9 percent; the discount rate for Plan B is 13 percent. Compute the present value of future dividends. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Present Value of Future Dividends $ 7.68 Plan A Plan B b-2. Which plan will provide the higher present value for the future dividends? Plan A Plan B
