1) Peterson company has a capital budget of $1.2 million. The company wants to maintain a target capital structure which is 60% debt and 40% equity. The company forecasts that its net income this year will be $600,000. If the company follows a residual distribution model and pays all distributions as dividends, what will be it's payout ratio?

Capital Budget = $1,200,000
Retained earnings = Equity portion of capital budget = 40%*$1,200,000=$480,000
Net income = $600,000
Dividend payout = Net income - retained earnings = $600,000-$480,000=$120,000
Dividend payout ratio = Dividend payout / Net income = $120,000 / $600,000=0.20 or 20%
