问题如下：
Company M paid a dividend of $0.5 last year. For the current year, the earnings are expected to be $3.0. Suppose the target payout ratio is 30%, and uses a 4-year period to adjust the dividend. What’s the expected dividend for the current year?
选项：
A.$0.6
B.$0.7
C.$0.8
解释：
A is correct.
考点：Payout Policies
解析：根据公式，Expected dividend = previous dividend + (expected earnings * target payout ratio - previous dividend) * adjustment factor
= 0.5 + (3*30% - 0.5)*0.25
= $0.6
老师您好，请问这句话“For the current year, the earnings are expected to be $3.0.”
这个指的意思不是今年预计利润会达到3美元吗？那为什么题目又说花四年时间会达到预期想要调整的分红水平？
