If the company follows a residual dividend policy, what portion of its net income should it pay out as dividends this year

$3,000,000

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a company's capital budget is expected to be $5,000,000 and that the company's target capital structure is 70 percent debt and 30 percent equity.

Equity = 30% × $5,000,000

= 30/100 × $5,000,000

= 0.3 × $5,000,000

= $1,500,000

Debt = 70% × $5,000,000

= 70/100 × $5,000,000

= 0.7 × $5,000,000

= $3,500,000

We are further told that the company's net income is $4,500,000 and since we be calculated the equity that will be needed to finance the capital budget as $1,500,000. Therefore, portion of its net income should it pay out as dividends this year will be:

= $4,500,000 - $1,500,000

= $3,000,000
