Trevor & Co.

1 $ 900,000

2 1,200,000

3 850,000

4 1,350,000

b. stable dollar dividend targeted at 40% of the average earnings over the four-year period

c. small, regular dividend of $0.75 plus a year-end extra of 40% of profits exceeding $1,000,000

Answer:

a.

.40(900,000)/500,000 = $0.72

.40(1,200,000)/500,000 = 0.96

.40(850,000)/500,000 = 0.68

.40(1,350,000)/500,000 = 1.08

b. .40(1,075,000) = $430,000/500,000 $0.86

c.

Year 1 $0.75 = $0.75

Year 2 0.75 + 0.16 = 0.91

Year 3 0.75 = 0.75

Year 4 0.75 + 0.28 = 1.03
