Quantitative Problem: After a 4-for-1 stock split, Perry Enterprises paid a dividend of $2.00 per new share, which represents a 8% increase over last year's pre-split dividend. What was last year's dividend per share? Round your answer to the nearest cent. $

Quantitative Problem: Lane Industries is considering three independent projects, each of which requires a $3.1 million investment. The estimated internal rate of return (IRR) and cost of capital for these projects are presented here:

Project H (high risk):	Cost of capital = 13%	IRR = 15%
Project M (medium risk):	Cost of capital = 11%	IRR = 9%
Project L (low risk):	Cost of capital = 8%	IRR = 9%

Note that the projects' costs of capital vary because the projects have different levels of risk. The company's optimal capital structure calls for 40% debt and 60% common equity, and it expects to have net income of $4,500,000. If Lane establishes its dividends from the residual dividend model, what will be its payout ratio? Round your answer to 2 decimal places. %
