- According to the dividend policy it is considered as inappropriate, the dividend level ought not make any differences.
- Any resources not circulated as dividends add to the estimation of the firm, consequently the price of stock.
- These managers simply need to change the period of dividends.
- The estimation of the firm is unaltered by their proposition. Hence, the price of share will be remain same.
- Therefore the value of firm is similar from part a, hence the change in dividend will have no impact.
