Answer: Cash flows to share holders are the cash flows net of dividends paid and cash received from the issue of common stock; cash flow to shareholders is $45.

We first calculate the dividends paid to share-holders.

We can calculate dividends received as:


Dividends = Net Income * Dividend payout rate


Dividends = 450 * 0.30


Dividends = 135

The cash flows to share holders are calculated as follows:


Cash flow to share holders = Dividends paid - Net new issue of stock


Cash flow to share holders = 135 - 90


Cash flow to share holders = 45
