How much in total dividends per share will be paid under each plan over five years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Total Dividends 9.80 10.30 Plan A Plan B b-1. Mr. Bright, the vice president of finance, suggests that stockholders often prefer a stable dividend policy to a highly variable one. He will assume that stockholders apply a lower discount rate to dividends that are stable. The discount rate to be used for Plan A is 12 percent; the discount rate for Plan B is 15 percent. Compute the present value of future dividends. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Present Value of Future Dividends Plan A Plan B
