    a. $ 898,750 55.63%

    Explanation:

    The computation of the expected dividend payout ratio is shown below:

    Expected dividend pay out ratio = 100 - { (capital budget * equity ratio) : (net income} * 100

    = 100 - { ($725,000 * 55%) : ($898,750} * 100

    = 100 - ($398,750 : $898,750) * 100

    = 100 - 44.37%

    = 55.63%

    The net income is

    = $725,000 * 55% + $500,000

    = $398,750 + $500,000

    = $898,750
