1、In 2007,M Corporation paid dividends totaling $3 million on net income of $15 million.2007 was a normal year, and for the past five years, earnings have grown at a constant rate of 10 percent. However,earnings are expected to jump to $18 million in 2008,and the firm expects to have $12 million investment opportunities in 2009.It is predicted that M will not be able to maintain the 2008 level of earnings growth in the future----the high 2008 earnings level is attributable to an exceptionally profitable new product line introduced in that year----and the company will return to its previous 10 percent growth rate. M’s target debt ratio is 40 percent in 2007, which will be continued in the future. Ge;plD-f
Calculate M’s expected dividends for 2008 if it follows each of the following policies: az]S&\i7T
A. Its 2008 dividend payment is set to make dividends grow at the long-run growth rate in earnings. f[/E $r99J
B. It continues the 2007 dividend payout ratio. ~?{"H<
C. It uses a residual policy with all distributions in the form of dividends. .ZrQ{~t
D. 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(Indicate the regular dividend and the extra dividend separately). ;-d :!*

2. N Company manufactures a kind of product used throughout the machinery industry. The standard price of the materials for the products is $6 per kilogram; the standard quantity of materials allowed per unit is 1.5 kilograms. During July, 2,000 units of the products were finished, for which 3,200 kilograms of materials were used at a total direct material cost of $18.560. :r[`bqC;\*
