Built Rite Corp. is evaluating an extra dividend versus a share repurchase. In either case, $5,500


You own 1,000 shares of stock in Avondale Corporation. You will receive an 80-cent per share dividend in one year. In two years, Avondale will pay a liquidating dividend of $40 per share. The required return on Avondale stock is 14 percent. What will your dividend income be this year if you use homemade dividends to create two equal annual dividend payments? 
 
A. 
$15,184

B. 
$15,980

C. 
$18,667

D. 
$19,117

E. 
$20,400
P0 = ($0.80/1.14) + ($40/1.142) = $31.48
$31.48 = (D/1.14) + (D/1.142); D = $19.117
Dividend income = 1,000 × $19.117 = $19,117

You own 1,500 shares of stock in Avondale Corporation. You will receive a $0.80 per share dividend in one year. In two years, Avondale will pay a liquidating dividend of $35 per share. The required return on Avondale stock is 16 percent. You only want $200 total in dividends in year one and accomplish this by using homemade dividends. What will your total dividend amount be in year two? 
 
A. 
$35,696

B. 
$40,764

C. 
$53,660

D. 
$61,402

E. 
$63,878
Dividends received in one year = 1,500 × $0.80 = $1,200
Price of stock in one year = $35/1.16 = $30.1724
Number of shares purchased = ($1,200 - $200)/$30.1724 = 33.142857 shares
Dividend in year two = $35 × (1,500 + 33.142857) = $53,660
