- In examining investors’ preferences for dividends, it is useful to begin with the concept of dividend irrelevance. Dividend irrelevance suggests that in a world with no taxes or brokerage (or transaction) costs, firms and investors are indifferent to the paying or receiving of dividends. However, as these restrictions are relaxed, various factors suggest that firms should pursue high or low payouts. One such factor is: Dividends received far into the future are significantly more uncertain than dividends received in the near future. Based on the factor described, identify whether investors, in general, will tend to favor high or low payout ratios.
