Answer:

b. Will always be higher than the dividend paid per share

Explanation:

A firm pays dividend to it's stockholders based upon it's earnings.

Earnings per share (EPS) is expressed as:

= \frac{Earnings\ available\ to\ stockholders}{No.\ of\ stocks\ outstanding}

Dividend payout ratio on the other hand is expressed as:

= EPS (1 - b)

wherein, b = retention ratio which denotes the percentage of earnings retained by a firm i.e not distributed as dividends.

Thus, a firm's earnings per share would always be higher than the dividend paid by it per share.

Volgvan

Answer:

1 +1R4= {(1 +1R3)(1 + E(4r1) +L4)}1/4

1.0500 = {(1.0475)^3(1 + 0.0525 +L4)}1/4

(1.0500)^4= (1.0475)3^(1 + 0.0525 +L4)

(1.0500)^4/(1.0475)^3= 1 + 0.0525 + L4

(1.0500)4/(1.0475)^3-1.0525

L4= .0050358564 = 0.504%
