Wildhorse Co. purchased equipment on March 27, 2018, at a cost of $ 264,000. Management is contemplating the merits of using the diminishing-balance or units-of-production method of depreciation instead of the straight-line method, which it currently uses for other equipment. The new equipment has an estimated residual value of $ 8,000 and an estimated useful life of either four years or 80,000 units. Demand for the products produced by the equipment is sporadic so the equipment will be used more in some years than in others. Assume the equipment produces the following number of units each year: 14,600 units in 2018; 20,600 units in 2019;19,800 units in 2020; 20,000 units in 2021; and 5,000 units in 2022. Wildhorse has a December year end.

Straight-line method:

Double-diminishing-balance method:

Boehm Corporation has had stable earnings growth of 4% a year for the past 10 years, and in 2019 Boehm paid dividends of $5 million on net income of $10 million. However, net income is expected to grow by 24% in 2020, and Boehm plans to invest $7.0 million in a plant expansion. This one-time unusual earnings growth won't be maintained, though, and after 2020 Boehm will return to its previous 4% earnings growth rate. Its target debt ratio is 32%. Boehm has 1 million shares of stock.

Calculate Boehm's dividend per share for 2020 under each of the following policies:

1. Its 2020 dividend payment is set to force dividends per share to grow at the long-run growth rate in earnings. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
2. It continues the 2019 dividend payout ratio. Round your answer to the nearest cent
3. It uses a pure residual policy with all distributions in the form of dividends (32% of the $7.0 million investment is financed with debt). Round your answer to the nearest cent.
4. It employs a regular-dividend-plus-extras policy, with the regular dividend being based on the long-run growth rate and the extra dividend being set according to the residual policy. What will the extra dividend be? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
