Answer from: christabell0303

a.The firm’s net income increases

Explanation:

A residual dividend policy model is used when funding capital expenditure with available earnings, before, paying dividends. This is done by companies that prioritise investment in growth opportunity before paying shareholders their dividends. There residual dividend policy assumes that investors have no preference between returns in dividends or returns in capital gains. (Chen, 2019)

It is calculated as net income / total assets = return on assets. Return on assets is a good measure of the companies’ performance.

Option A would result in the company investing more on capital and more on dividends.

Option B results in more equity than liabilities in capital structure.

Option C would result in more money invested in capital structure to undertake those potential projects .

Option D results in more investment on capital gains since there is less tax to be charged.

Option E results in dividends being paid out to more people and less amount per share.

Option A will most likely result in a higher dividend per share being paid out.
