Question - Lyle Communications had finally arrived at the point where it had a sufficient excess cash flow of $2.4 million to consider paying a dividend. It had 2 million shares outstanding and was considering paying a cash dividend of $1.20 per share. The firm's total earnings were $8 million, providing $4 in EPS. Lyle Communications shares traded in the market at $64. However, Liz Crocker, the chief financial officer, was not sure that paying the cash dividend was the best route to go.
Required - Assist Liz in the following analysis.
1. What is the firm's P/E ratio?
2. If the firm paid the cash dividend, what would be its dividend yield and dividend payout per share?
3. If a shareholder held 100 shares and received the cash dividend, what would be the total value of the shareholder's portfolio?
4. Assume that instead of paying the cash dividend, the firm used the $2.4 millions of excess funds to purchase shares at $65.20, slightly over the current market price. How many shares could be repurchased?
5. What would be the new EPS under the share repurchase alternative?
6. If the P/E ratio stayed the same under the share repurchase alternative, what would be the share value? What would be the value of the shareholder's portfolio, which included 100 shares?
