Flambeau Corporation has paid 60 consecutive quarterly cash dividends (15 years' worth). The
last six months have been a real cash drain on the company, however, as profit margins have
been greatly narrowed by increasing competition.
With a cash balance that is only enough to meet day-to-day operating needs, the president,
Vince Ramsey, has decided that a stock dividend instead of a cash dividend should be
declared. He tells Flambeau's financial vice-president, Janice Rahn, to issue a press release
stating that the company is extending its consecutive dividend record with the declaration of a
5% stock dividend. "Write the press release convincing the shareholders that the stock dividend
is just as good as a cash dividend," he orders. "Just watch our share price rise when we
announce the stock dividend; it must be a good thing if that happens."
