    Expected Dividend = $2.40

    Explanation:

    To find out the company dividend company policy, we have to compute the dividend payout ratio for each year:

    Year 1 Year 2 Year 3

    Earnings $1.00 $1.25 $4.00

    Dividends $0.40 $0.50 $1.60

    Payout (Div/Earnings) 40% 40% 40%

    The company policy to pay dividend is 40% out of their total earnings as evident by the previous year dividends. The anticipates earnings for the upcoming year is $6.00, so we can calculate dividends by multiplying payout ratio of 40% to earnings:

    Expected Dividend = 6 * 40%

    Expected Dividend = $2.40
