Walsh Company is considering three independent projects, each of which requires a $$6$ million investment. The estimated internal rate of return $($IRR$)$ and

cost of capital for these projects are presented here:

Note that the projects' costs of capital vary because the projects have different levels of risk. The company's optimal capital structure calls for $60\%$ debt and

$40\%$ common equity, and it expects to have net income of $$12,549,500.$ If Walsh establishes its dividends from the residual dividend model, what will be its

payout ratio? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Project M $($medium risk$)$: Cost of capital $=11\%$ IRR $=12\%$

Project L $($low risk$)$: Cost of capital $=7\%$ IRR $=8\%$
