45%.
Explanation:
Calculation Explanation
Step 1: Calculate Adjusted FFO
- FFO = $70,000
- Adjusted FFO = FFO + Non-cash rent - Recurring capital expenditures
- Adjusted FFO = 5,000 - 65,000
Step 2: Calculate Adjusted FFO per share
- Adjusted FFO per share = Adjusted FFO / Weighted average shares
- Adjusted FFO per share = 2.60
Step 3: Calculate Dividend Payout Ratio
- Dividend per share = $1.00
- Payout ratio = Dividend per share / Adjusted FFO per share
- Payout ratio = 2.60 = 0.3846 or 38.46%
The closest answer is 38% (Option B).
