Dividend Policies involve the decisions, whether-

   To  retain earnings for capital investment and

Dividendpolicy by pakistani studend
Walters Model
   Prof. James E Walter argued that in the long-
    run the share prices reflect only the present
    value of expected dividends. Retentions
    influence stock price only through their effect
    on future dividends. Walter has formulated this
    and used the dividend to optimize the wealth
    of the equity shareholders.
   Assumptions of Walters
    Model:
     Internal  Financing
     constant Return in Cost of
      Capital
     100% payout or Retention

     Constant EPS and DPS

     Infinite time
Formula of Walters Model
                       D + r (E-D)
      P       =            k
                           k
Where,
  P       = Current Market Price of equity share
  E       = Earning per share
  D       = Dividend per share
  (E-D) = Retained earning per share
  r    = Rate of Return on firms investment or Internal Rate of
  Return
  k       = Cost of Equity Capital
Illustration
:
  Growth Firm (r > k):
r = 20% k = 15% E = Rs. 4
If D = Rs. 4
      P = 4+(0) 0.20 /0 .15 = Rs. 26.67
                0.15
If D = Rs. 2
      P = 2+(2) 0.20 / 0.15 = Rs. 31.11
               0.15
Illustration
:
  Normal Firm (r = k):
r = 15% k = 15% E = Rs. 4
If D = Rs. 4
      P = 4+(0) 0.15 / 0.15 = Rs. 26.67
                0.15
If D = Rs. 2
      P = 2+(2) 0.15 / 0.15 = Rs. 26.67
               0.15
Illustration
:
  Declining Firm (r < k):
r = 10% k = 15% E = Rs. 4
If D = Rs. 4
      P = 4+(0) 0.10 / 0.15 = Rs. 26.67
                 0.15
If D = Rs. 2
      P = 2+(2) 0.10 / 0.15 = Rs. 22.22
                 0.15

Criticisms of Walters
Model
   No External Financing
   Firms internal rate of return does not always
    remain constant. In fact, r decreases as more
    and more investment in made.
   Firms cost of capital does not always remain
    constant. In fact, k changes directly with the
    firms risk.
赫看姻糸看稼s
    Model
 According to Prof. Gordon, Dividend Policy
  almost always affects the value of the firm. He
  Showed how dividend policy can be used to
  maximize the wealth of the shareholders.
 The main proposition of the model is that the
  value of a share reflects the value of the future
  dividends accruing to that share. Hence, the
  dividend payment and its growth are relevant in
  valuation of shares.
 The model holds that the shares market price is
  equal to the sum of shares discounted future
  dividend payment.
   Assumptions:
     Allequity firm
     No external Financing

     Constant Returns

     Constant Cost of Capital

     Perpetual Earnings

     No taxes

     Constant Retention

     Cost of Capital is greater then growth rate
      (k>br=g)
Formula of 赫看姻糸看稼s
Model
              E (1  b)
     P    =
              K - br

   Where,
    P = Price
    E = Earning per Share
    b = Retention Ratio
    k = Cost of Capital
    br = g = Growth Rate
Illustration
:
  Growth Firm (r > k):
r = 20% k = 15% E = Rs. 4
If b = 0.25
       P0 =       (0.75) 4     = Rs. 30
            0.15- (0.25)(0.20)
If b = 0.50
       P0 =       (0.50) 4     = Rs. 40
            0.15- (0.5)(0.20)
Illustration
:
  Normal Firm (r = k):
r = 15% k = 15% E = Rs. 4
If b = 0.25
       P0 =       (0.75) 4     = Rs. 26.67
            0.15- (0.25)(0.15)
If b = 0.50
       P0 =       (0.50) 4     = Rs. 26.67
            0.15- (0.5)(0.15)
Illustration
:
  Declining Firm (r < k):
r = 10% k = 15% E = Rs. 4
If b = 0.25
       P0 =       (0.75) 4     = Rs. 24
            0.15- (0.25)(0.10)
If b = 0.50
       P0 =       (0.50) 4     = Rs. 20
            0.15- (0.5)(0.10)
Criticisms of 赫看姻糸看稼s
model
   As the assumptions of Walters Model
    and 赫看姻糸看稼s Model are same so the
    赫看姻糸看稼s model suffers from the same
    limitations as the Walters Model.
Dividendpolicy by pakistani studend
Modigliani & Millers Irrelevance
Model

       Value of Firm (i.e. Wealth of Shareholders)


                                  Depends on



                    Firms Earnings

                                 Depends on



   Firms Investment Policy and not on dividend policy
Modigliani and Millers
Approach
   Assumption
     Capital Markets are Perfect and people are
      Rational
     No taxes

     Floating Costs are nil

     Investment opportunities and future profits of
      firms are known with certainty (This assumption
      was dropped later)
     Investment and Dividend Decisions are
      independent
M-Ms Argument
   If a company retains earnings instead of giving
    it out as dividends, the shareholder enjoy
    capital appreciation equal to the amount of
    earnings retained.
   If it distributes earnings by the way of
    dividends instead of retaining it, shareholder
    enjoys dividends equal in value to the amount
    by which his capital would have appreciated
    had the company chosen to retain its earning.
   Hence,
     the division of earnings between dividends and
     retained earnings is IRRELEVANT from the point
     of view of shareholders.
Formula of M-Ms
Approach
                1    ( D1+P1 )
   P     =
             (1 + p)
   o

Where,
 Po = Market price per share at time 0,
 D1 = Dividend per share at time 1,
 P1 = Market price of share at time 1
1    (nD1+nP1)
       nPo    =
                   (1 + p)


   The expression of the outstanding equity
    shares of the firm at time 0 is obtained as:

                     1    {nD1+(n + m)P1- mP1}
      nPo    =
                  (1 + p)
mP1 = I  (X  nD1)
      Where,
       X = Total net profit of the firm for year
       1

nPo          1    [nD1+ (n + m)P1 {I  (X 
       =
         nD1)}]
          (1 + p)
nPo            1    nD1+ (n + m)P1 I +X  nD1
      =
            (1 + p)
nPo          1      (n + m)P1 I +X
      =
          (1 + p)
Criticism of M-M
Model
   No perfect Capital Market
   Existence of Transaction Cost
   Existence of Floatation Cost
   Lack of Relevant Information
   Differential rates of Taxes
   No fixed investment Policy
   Investors desire to obtain     current
    income
Traditional Approach
   This theory regards dividend decision merely
    as a part of financing decision because
     The  earnings available may be retained in the
      business for re-investment
     Or if the funds are not required in the business
      they may be distributed as dividends.
   Thus the decision to pay the dividends or
    retain the earnings may be taken as a residual
    decision
   This theory assumes that the investors do
    not differentiate between dividends and
    retentions by the firm
   Thus, a firm should retain the earnings if it
    has profitable investment opportunities
    otherwise it should pay than as dividends.
Synopsis
   Dividend is the part of profit paid to
    Shareholders.
   Firm decide, depending on the profit, the
    percentage of paying dividend.
   Walter and Gordon says that a Dividend
    Decision affects the valuation of the firm.
   While the Traditional Approach and MMs
    Approach says that Value of the Firm is
    irrelevant to Dividend we pay.

  • 19. Illustration : Growth Firm (r > k): r = 20% k = 15% E = Rs. 4 If D = Rs. 4 P = 4+(0) 0.20 /0 .15 = Rs. 26.67 0.15 If D = Rs. 2 P = 2+(2) 0.20 / 0.15 = Rs. 31.11 0.15
  • 20. Illustration : Normal Firm (r = k): r = 15% k = 15% E = Rs. 4 If D = Rs. 4 P = 4+(0) 0.15 / 0.15 = Rs. 26.67 0.15 If D = Rs. 2 P = 2+(2) 0.15 / 0.15 = Rs. 26.67 0.15
  • 21. Illustration : Declining Firm (r < k): r = 10% k = 15% E = Rs. 4 If D = Rs. 4 P = 4+(0) 0.10 / 0.15 = Rs. 26.67 0.15 If D = Rs. 2 P = 2+(2) 0.10 / 0.15 = Rs. 22.22 0.15
  • 22. Effect of Dividend Policy on Value of Share Case If Dividend Payout If Dividend Payout ratio Increases Ration decreases 1. In case of Growing Market Value of Share Market Value of a share firm i.e. where r > k decreases increases 2. In case of Declining Market Value of Share Market Value of share firm i.e. where r < k increases decreases 3. In case of normal firm No change in value of No change in value of i.e. where r = k Share Share
  • 23. Criticisms of Walters Model No External Financing Firms internal rate of return does not always remain constant. In fact, r decreases as more and more investment in made. Firms cost of capital does not always remain constant. In fact, k changes directly with the firms risk.
  • 24. 赫看姻糸看稼s Model According to Prof. Gordon, Dividend Policy almost always affects the value of the firm. He Showed how dividend policy can be used to maximize the wealth of the shareholders. The main proposition of the model is that the value of a share reflects the value of the future dividends accruing to that share. Hence, the dividend payment and its growth are relevant in valuation of shares. The model holds that the shares market price is equal to the sum of shares discounted future dividend payment.
  • 25. Assumptions: Allequity firm No external Financing Constant Returns Constant Cost of Capital Perpetual Earnings No taxes Constant Retention Cost of Capital is greater then growth rate (k>br=g)
  • 26. Formula of 赫看姻糸看稼s Model E (1 b) P = K - br Where, P = Price E = Earning per Share b = Retention Ratio k = Cost of Capital br = g = Growth Rate
  • 27. Illustration : Growth Firm (r > k): r = 20% k = 15% E = Rs. 4 If b = 0.25 P0 = (0.75) 4 = Rs. 30 0.15- (0.25)(0.20) If b = 0.50 P0 = (0.50) 4 = Rs. 40 0.15- (0.5)(0.20)

  • 30. Criticisms of 赫看姻糸看稼s model As the assumptions of Walters Model and 赫看姻糸看稼s Model are same so the 赫看姻糸看稼s model suffers from the same limitations as the Walters Model.
  • 32. Modigliani & Millers Irrelevance Model Value of Firm (i.e. Wealth of Shareholders) Depends on Firms Earnings Depends on Firms Investment Policy and not on dividend policy
  • 33. Modigliani and Millers Approach Assumption Capital Markets are Perfect and people are Rational No taxes Floating Costs are nil Investment opportunities and future profits of firms are known with certainty (This assumption was dropped later) Investment and Dividend Decisions are independent
  • 34. M-Ms Argument If a company retains earnings instead of giving it out as dividends, the shareholder enjoy capital appreciation equal to the amount of earnings retained. If it distributes earnings by the way of dividends instead of retaining it, shareholder enjoys dividends equal in value to the amount by which his capital would have appreciated had the company chosen to retain its earning.
  • 35. Hence, the division of earnings between dividends and retained earnings is IRRELEVANT from the point of view of shareholders.
  • 36. Formula of M-Ms Approach 1 ( D1+P1 ) P = (1 + p) o Where, Po = Market price per share at time 0, D1 = Dividend per share at time 1, P1 = Market price of share at time 1
  • 37. 1 (nD1+nP1) nPo = (1 + p) The expression of the outstanding equity shares of the firm at time 0 is obtained as: 1 {nD1+(n + m)P1- mP1} nPo = (1 + p)
  • 38. mP1 = I (X nD1) Where, X = Total net profit of the firm for year 1 nPo 1 [nD1+ (n + m)P1 {I (X = nD1)}] (1 + p) nPo 1 nD1+ (n + m)P1 I +X nD1 = (1 + p)
  • 39. nPo 1 (n + m)P1 I +X = (1 + p)
  • 40. Criticism of M-M Model No perfect Capital Market Existence of Transaction Cost Existence of Floatation Cost Lack of Relevant Information Differential rates of Taxes No fixed investment Policy Investors desire to obtain current income
  • 41. Traditional Approach This theory regards dividend decision merely as a part of financing decision because The earnings available may be retained in the business for re-investment Or if the funds are not required in the business they may be distributed as dividends. Thus the decision to pay the dividends or retain the earnings may be taken as a residual decision
  • 42. This theory assumes that the investors do not differentiate between dividends and retentions by the firm Thus, a firm should retain the earnings if it has profitable investment opportunities otherwise it should pay than as dividends.
  • 43. Synopsis Dividend is the part of profit paid to Shareholders. Firm decide, depending on the profit, the percentage of paying dividend. Walter and Gordon says that a Dividend Decision affects the valuation of the firm. While the Traditional Approach and MMs Approach says that Value of the Firm is irrelevant to Dividend we pay.
