Required: |
Calculate the dividend paid. (Do not round your intermediate calculations.) |
Net income next year = $11,800 * 1.11 = $13,098
Equity next year = $5,400 * 1.11 = $5,994
Equity next year = Equity today + Net income next year - Dividend paid
$5,994 = $5,400 + $13,098 - Dividend paid
Dividend paid = $5,400 + $13,098 - $5,994
Dividend paid = $12,504
