Kendra Brown is analyzing the capital requirements for Reynolds Corporation for next year. Kendra forecasts that Reynolds will need $8,635,200 to fund all of its positive-NPV projects, and her job is to determine how to raise the money. Reynoldss net income is $7,710,000, and it has paid a $1.10 dividend per share (DPS) for the past several years (5,480,000 shares of common stock are outstanding); its shareholders expect the dividend to remain constant for the next several years. The companys target capital structure is 44.0% debt and 56.0% equity. Consider the case in which Reynoldss management wants to maintain the $1.10 DPS and its target capital structure but also wants to avoid issuing new common stock. The company is willing to cut its capital budget in order to meet its other objectives. Assuming the companys projects are divisible, what will be the companys capital budget for the next year?
