Respuesta :

Answer:

55%

Explanation:

Calculation for what will be its payout ratio

First step is to calculate equity portion

Equity portion= 0.3 * $1,500,000

Equity portion= $450,000

Second Step is to calculate net income amount

that is been left to pay dividend

Net income $1,000,000 -$450,000

Net income= $550,000

Last step is to Calculate the dividend payout ratio

Using this formula

Payout ratio = Dividend/Net Income

Let plug in the formula

Payout ratio=$550,000/$1,000,000

Payout ratio= 0.55*100

Payout ratio=55%

Therefore what will be its payout ratio is 55%
