Cash flow to stockholders is dividends paid out by a firm less net new equity raised.
From the income statement in Table 2.2, we
see that dividends paid to stockholders amounted to $103. To get net new
equity raised, we need to look at the common stock and paid-in surplus
account in the balance sheets in Table 2.1. During the year, this account
rose by $40, so $40 in net new equity was raised. Given this, the cash
flow to stockholders for 1996 was:
