    Dividend payout ratio=0.5417

    Explanation:

    Dividend paid=Net income - (Weight of equity*Capital budget)

    =1,200,000 - (0.55*1,000,000)

    which is equal to

    =$650,000

    Hence dividend payout ratio=dividend/net income

    =$650,000/1,200,000

    which is equal to

    =54.17% (Approx). (or 0.5417 approx).
