Page 8: Dividend policy000

RELEVANCE THEORY

Dividend policy is very essential for any business firm as it affects the overall value of the firm.

Dividend policy is relevant & dividend decision form a very integral part of the investment and financing decision of the firm.

Shareholders prefer current dividends & hence there is a direct relationships between the dividend policy & the market value of the firm

Page 9: Dividend policy000

WALTER MODEL

Dividend policy affects the value of the firm.

Together, the cost of capital (k) and rate of return (r) determine the dividend policy that will maximize the shareholders wealth.

Page 10: Dividend policy000

WALTER MODEL -- assumption

The firm finances all investment through retained earnings while debt and new equity is not used.

Business risk remains constant i.e., r & k are also constant.

The firm has infinite life.

The firm either goes for a 100 % pay-out or a 100 % retention.

DECISION

r > k r < k r =k

Growth firm Declining firm Normal firm

Zero 100 % Indifferent

Abundant None / very few Optimal

Company should retain all earnings for investment

Company should distribute all earnings in the form dividends

Dividend does not affect market price of share

Page 12: Dividend policy000

WALTER MODEL -- criticisms

It ignores the benefit of optimal capital structure.

Assumption that ‘K’ remains constant does not hold good in practice.

It ignores that market price is affected by many factors.

Page 13: Dividend policy000

GORDON’S MODEL

Also known as the ‘bird in hand argument.

Dividend policy is relevant as the investors prefer current dividends as against the future uncertain capital gains.

Investors discount the firm’s earnings at lower rate when they are certain about returns, placing a higher value for the share and that of the firm.

Page 14: Dividend policy000

GORDON’S MODEL - assumptions

No external financing is available.

Corporate tax does not exist.

The firm has infinite life.

Investors are basically risk-averse.

The growth rate of firm ‘g’ is the product of its retention ratio ‘b’ and its rate of return ‘r’ i.e., g = br.

The cost of capital is constant and also more than growth rate, i.e., k > g.

Page 15: Dividend policy000

GORDON’S MODEL -- decisions

If r > k > g :- Company should distribute less dividend and retain high profit.

If r < k :- Company should distribute more profits as dividend.

If r = k :- Pay-out ratio is not effected by retention ratio.

Page 16: Dividend policy000

IRRELEVANCE THEORY

Dividend policy is irrelevant to maximizing the shareholders wealth.

Value of the firm is affected by the earning capacity of the firm i.e., investment policy and not the dividend policy.

Whether the firm retains its earnings or pays dividend, the market price of the share is indifferent towards it.

Page 17: Dividend policy000

MODIGILANI & MILLER MODEL -- concept

Crux of MM position is arbitrage argument. Arbitrage is entering simultaneously in two transactions which balance each other.

Between dividend and retention of earnings the investors would be indifferent due to balancing nature of internal financing and external financing.

So, the firm is indifferent towards the dividend decision.

Page 18: Dividend policy000

MODIGILANI & MILLERMODEL

Modigilani and Miller were two staunch supporters of the irrelevance concept.

The value of the firm is not affected by the decision of pay-out or plough-back.

Firm’s dividend policy have no influence on the market prices of the shares.

Page 19: Dividend policy000

M-M MODEL -- assumptions

Perfect capital market.

Investors behave rationally.

There are no taxes.

No floating cost on issue of shares.

Page 20: Dividend policy000

M-M MODEL -- criticisms

It is wrong to assume that there are no taxes, floating costs do not exist and there is absence of transaction costs.

The perfect capital market condition is not always true.
