In response to the internal debate, Swenson's staff pulled together Exhibits 6 and 7 ,which present comparative information on companies in three industries CAD/CAM,machine tools, and electrical-industrial equipment-and a sample of high-and low-payout companies.To test the feasibility of a 40% dividend-payout rate, Swenson developed the projected sources-and-uses of cash statement provided in

She took the boldest approach by assuming that the company would grow at a 15% compound rate, that margins would improve over the next few years to historical levels, and that the firm would pay a dividend of 40% of earnings every year. In particular, the forecast assumed that the firm's net margin would hover between 4% and 6% over the next six years,and then increase to 8% in 2011. the firm's oper-ating executives believed that this increase in profitability was consistent with economies of scale to be achieved upon the attainment of higher operating output through the Artificial Workforce series.
