Linear Technology You are a consulting team hired to advise on Linears payout policy. Based on your evaluation of Linears financial position, its financing needs, its existing payout policy, the payout policy of its peers, tax rates, and any other financial data provided throughout the case, make a recommendation to Linear. Provide substantial reasoning and (both quantitative and qualitative) analysis for this decision. After making your recommendation, estimate the effect of this decision on a) Linears share price, b) their shares outstanding, and c) their earnings per share. Include this information in a table. Submit a single document with a clearly explained recommendation and supporting arguments for this recommendation (a succinct list of bullet point arguments is fine, provided they are appropriately explained and defended).
