The firm makes distributions based on the residual earnings. Consider the case of Yellow Duck Distribution Company:Yellow Duck Distribution Company is expected to generate $240,000,000 in net income over the next year. Yellow Duck Distribution Company has forecasted a capital budget of $85,000,000, and it wishes to maintain its current capital structure of 70% debt and 30% equity.
