(Dividend irrelevance of the timing of cash dividends) The Caraway Seed Company sells specialty gardening seeds and products primarily to mail-order and Internet customers. The firm has $ 200 comma 000 available for distribution as a cash dividend immediately and plans to shut down its business at the end of one year, at which time it will be prepared to pay a liquidating dividend of $1.20 million to the firm's stockholders. The firm's shareholders require a 10.0 percent rate of return for investing in the all-equity-financed firm.
A. What do you estimate the value of Caraway's equity to be today if it pays out a $200 comma 000 cash dividend today and plans to pay a $1.20 million liquidating dividend at the end of the year?
B. If Caraway's board of directors decides to pay a $600 comma 000 dividend today to its existing shareholders using an equity offering selling new shares of common stock to raise the additional $400 comma 000 it needs to make the cash dividend, what will be the value of the existing shares of stock? The new shares?

Special order carson manufacturing, inc., sells a single product for $36 per unit. at an operating level of 8,000 units, variable costs are $18 per unit and fixed costs $10 per unit. carson has been offered a price of $20 per unit on a special order of 2,000 units by big mart discount stores, which would use its own brand name on the item. if carson accepts the order, material cost will be $3 less per unit than for regular production. however, special stamping equipment costing $4,000 would be needed to process the order; the equipment would then be discarded. assuming that volume remains within the relevant range, prepare an analysis of differential revenue and costs to determine whether carson should accept the special order. use a negative sign with answer to only indicate an income loss from special order; otherwise do not use negative signs with your answers.
