Question 2:

An all-equity firm is deciding how much cash to invest in business and how much to return to shareholders (through dividends or share repurchase). The following table shows how different investment levels will perform. The first column shows possible investment levels and the second column shows the cash flow generated from each investment level after one year (M stands for $millions).

Shareholders will earn a return of 12% over next year on cash that they get today from dividends. There are no taxes. The firm has cash of $10 million. How much of this cash should be invested in the firm and how much should be returned to the shareholders?
