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 $12 million investment opportunities in 2009.It is predicted that M will not be able to maintain the 2008 level of earnings growth in the future----the high 2008 earnings level is attributable to an exceptionally profitable new product line introduced in that year----and the company will return to its previous 10 percent growth rate. M’s target debt ratio is 40 percent in 2007, which will be continued in the future. iqKs:v@+x
Calculate M’s expected dividends for 2008 if it follows each of the following policies: JH*fxG
A. Its 2008 dividend payment is set to make dividends grow at the long-run growth rate in earnings. dF*M"|[
B. It continues the 2007 dividend payout ratio. M"6J"s
C. It uses a residual policy with all distributions in the form of dividends. g!^mewtd
D. It employs a regular-dividend-plus-extras policy, with the regular dividend being based on the long-run growth rate and the extra dividend being set according to the residual policy(Indicate the regular dividend and the extra dividend separately). wV\G$|Y

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. @FF80U4'
A. Calculate the direct material price variance for July. Indicate whether it is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U) and who is generally responsible for this variance. gw^W6v
B. Calculate the direct material quantity variance for July. Indicate whether it is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U) and who is generally responsible for this variance. f,ZJFb98
