“A handy e-book on how to create sustainable shareholders value”
Walter's model states that a company's dividend policy impacts its valuation, with higher-dividend companies valued more than lower- or no-dividend companies. The model uses two factors - dividend payout ratio and the relationship between internal rate of return and cost of capital - in its valuation formula. The formula calculates share price as the present value of infinite dividend and retained earnings flows. The model implies different optimal payout ratios depending on a company's growth phase: 0% for growth companies, no optimum for normal companies, and 100% for declining companies.

1. Capitalization refers to the total amount of long-term funds available to a company including share capital, reserves, debentures, and long-term loans.
2. There are two main theories of capitalization - the cost theory which is based on the cost of assets, and the earnings theory which is based on expected earnings and rate of return.
3. Overcapitalization occurs when a company's capital exceeds what is needed based on its earning capacity, resulting in a lower return on capital. Undercapitalization is the opposite, where the capital is too low relative to earning capacity. Maintaining fair capitalization is ideal for a company.
The document discusses capital structure, which refers to the proportion of debt, preferred stock, and common equity used to finance a company's assets. Capital structure includes long-term debt and stockholder equity. Capitalization refers to the total amount of securities issued, while capital structure refers to the types and proportions of securities. Financial structure includes all financial resources, both short- and long-term. An optimal capital structure maximizes share price and minimizes cost of capital. Factors that determine a company's capital structure include financial leverage, growth and stability of sales, cost of capital, cash flow ability, nature and size of the firm, control, flexibility, requirements of investors, and capital market conditions.

Corporate finance deals with how corporations raise and manage financial resources. It involves making investment, financing, and dividend decisions to maximize shareholder wealth while balancing risks and rewards. The discipline draws on economics, accounting, and mathematics to analyze financial statements and allocate capital. It also addresses agency problems that arise from conflicts of interest between shareholders and managers or creditors. Corporate finance has evolved with industrialization and technological changes, developing quantitative tools and theories to improve capital market efficiency and firm value.
The document summarizes William Sharpe's single index model from 1963, which simplified Harry Markowitz's earlier portfolio selection model. The single index model assumes that only one macroeconomic factor, represented by a market index like the S&P 500, influences the systematic risk of stock returns. It expresses the return of a security as the sum of its expected excess return, its sensitivity to market movements, and random error. This allows estimating portfolio variance and minimum variance portfolios based only on market risk rather than the full covariance matrix.
Operating, financial and combined leverageSimran Kaur
This document discusses different types of leverage used in business - operating, financial, and combined leverage. Operating leverage is related to fixed operating costs and how they magnify changes in sales on earnings. Financial leverage uses fixed financing costs to magnify the effect on earnings per share. Combined leverage is the product of operating and financial leverage. Degrees of leverage are defined to quantify the effects. Indifference points are discussed as the earnings level where leveraged vs unleveraged financing plans yield equal shareholder returns. Analysis of earnings-per-share for different financing options is based on expected earnings levels relative to the indifference point.
This document discusses different methods for evaluating portfolio performance:
- Portfolio managers evaluate performance to identify strengths and weaknesses and improve strategies. Evaluation provides feedback in the final stage of the investment process.
- Sharpe's index measures risk-adjusted return by comparing the portfolio's excess return over the risk-free rate to the total risk in the portfolio. A higher index indicates better performance.
- Treynor's index also measures risk-adjusted return but uses systematic risk (beta) rather than total risk. A higher Treynor index means more risk premium earned per unit of market risk.
- Jensen's alpha measures the excess return of a portfolio above what would be predicted by the security's beta. A positive alpha
This document discusses book building, which is a process used to determine the price of shares being offered during an initial public offering (IPO). Book building involves generating demand from investors who bid for shares at different price levels within a given price range. The final share price is set based on the demand and bids received. The key aspects covered include the definition of book building, an example of how the bidding process works, characteristics of book building like using a price floor and bands, the steps in the book building process, and the types of book building (75% or 100% of shares allocated this way).
The document discusses several theories on corporate dividend policies:
1. Dividend relevance theories argue that a firm's dividend policy impacts its value. Walter's and Gordon's models show how value is determined based on factors like earnings, dividends, growth rates, and costs of capital.
2. Dividend irrelevance theories, proposed by Modigliani and Miller, state that a firm's value depends only on its investment policy, not its dividend policy.
3. The bird-in-hand theory suggests that even in situations of equal growth rates and costs of capital, investors prefer dividends in-hand to future capital gains due to uncertainty.
1) Capital budgeting is the process of planning for capital expenditures that are expected to generate returns over multiple years. It involves evaluating potential long-term investment projects and determining which ones to undertake.
2) The document discusses various capital budgeting techniques for evaluating projects, including payback period, accounting rate of return, net present value, and internal rate of return. It also outlines the typical capital budgeting process of identifying, screening, evaluating, approving, implementing, and reviewing projects.
3) Key factors in capital budgeting include properly accounting for the time value of money, risk analysis, and ensuring projects will maximize long-term profitability for the company. Both traditional and modern discounted cash flow methods have advantages and
The document discusses the money market in India. It defines the money market and notes that it deals in short-term financial instruments that can be easily converted to cash. Some key aspects of the Indian money market discussed include the various sub-markets (e.g. call money market), instruments (e.g. treasury bills), participants (e.g. commercial banks), and the role of the money market in providing short-term funds and allowing central bank control of liquidity.
Business economics deals with the application of economic theories and principles to solve business problems and aid management decision making. It involves using economic methodology to analyze issues like demand forecasting, cost analysis, profit analysis, and capital management at the level of individual firms. The study of business economics has both theoretical and practical significance. It helps understand economic behavior, assess economic performance, aid in economic planning and policymaking, and solve problems faced by various groups like businessmen, bankers, and policymakers. Overall, business economics integrates economic theory with business practice to facilitate optimal business decision making and planning.
The document discusses various methods for valuing common stock, including calculating the present value of future dividends using the dividend discount model. It outlines three cases for the pattern of future dividends: zero growth, constant growth, and non-constant growth. Key valuation formulas and an example are provided. Additional stock features and components of the required return such as the dividend yield and capital gains yield are also examined.
Behavioral finance is a field that combines psychology and traditional finance to explain irrational financial behaviors. Standard finance theories failed to explain market anomalies like crashes and bubbles. Behavioral finance proposes that people are not perfectly rational due to cognitive biases and emotions. Some biases explored in behavioral finance include prospect theory, which shows people weigh potential losses more than equivalent gains; anchoring, where recent prices unduly influence investment decisions; and overconfidence, which causes investors to underestimate risks. By understanding these biases, behavioral finance provides frameworks to better understand unpredictable market movements.
Capital structure refers to the composition of long-term capital from sources like loans, reserves, shares, and bonds. It represents the relationship between different types of long-term capital. A proper capital structure maximizes firm value, minimizes costs, and increases share prices. It also allows firms to take advantage of new investment opportunities and supports country growth. Factors that affect capital structure include financial leverage, operating leverage, earnings per share, costs of different sources, growth and stability of sales, flexibility, nature and size of firm, cash flows, control, market conditions, asset structure, financing purpose, and period of finance. Advantages of debt include amplifying returns, greater control and flexibility, while equity provides flexibility in raising funds

The document outlines the 4 main steps of financial planning:
1. Determine your current financial situation by calculating your net worth and analyzing cash flow
2. Set financial goals both short, medium, and long-term which include paying off debt, saving for retirement and children's education
3. Develop a financial plan that is flexible, provides liquidity, and minimizes taxes
4. Monitor your progress towards goals by regularly reviewing your budget, investment returns, taxes, inflation, and making adjustments if needed.
This document provides an overview of circular flow models in economics. It begins with defining the circular flow of income as the circulation of money, goods, and services between producers and consumers. It then covers the two sector model which includes households and firms exchanging money for goods. It introduces the three sector model which adds the government sector that collects taxes, spends on goods/services, and provides transfers. Key points are explained through diagrams and the document signifies how these models underpin national accounting and macroeconomics.
The document discusses various aspects of financial management including its objectives, scope, sources of finance, and types of shares. Financial management deals with procuring and utilizing funds in a balanced manner to maximize profit and returns. The basic objectives are profit maximization and maintaining liquidity, while other objectives include fair returns, building reserves, and ensuring efficiency. Sources of finance discussed include equity shares, preference shares, debentures, and retained earnings.
Bonus shares are additional free shares given to existing shareholders based on the number of shares owned, representing a company's accumulated retained earnings. Companies issue bonus shares to increase liquidity and shareholder participation when earnings per share rise substantially. For example, a company with Rs. 10,000 profit and 100 shares has an earnings per share of Rs. 100. To lower the price per share for retail investors and improve liquidity, the company may declare a 1:4 bonus issue, increasing shares to 500. This lowers the price per share to Rs. 20 while maintaining the same total market value. Bonus shares are accounted for by transferring reserves to share capital.
The document discusses dividend policy and models used in Indian corporate sectors. It provides an overview of Walter's model, Gordon's model, and the Modigliani-Miller model. Walter's model shows the relationship between return on investment, cost of equity, and dividend payout ratio. Gordon's model incorporates a growth rate determined by retention ratio and return on investment. The Modigliani-Miller theorem states that dividend policy does not impact firm value if markets are efficient. The document also discusses typical Indian corporate dividend practices and factors affecting dividend policy decisions.
This document discusses dividend policy and the various theories around it.

The Modigliani-Miller theorem states that dividend policy does not impact firm value if markets are efficient. The document also discusses typical Indian corporate dividend practices and factors affecting dividend policy decisions.
This document discusses dividend policy and the various theories around it. It defines dividends and discusses Walter's model and Gordon's model, which propose that dividend policy affects firm value. It also covers the irrelevance theories of Modigliani-Miller and the traditional approach, which argue that dividend policy does not impact value. The document provides formulas for the different models and discusses their assumptions and criticisms.
This document discusses theories related to corporate dividend decisions and their impact on firm value. It outlines two broad categories of theories: theories of irrelevance, which argue dividend decisions do not affect firm value, and theories of relevance, which argue they do. Key theories discussed include the residual approach, Modigliani-Miller approach, Walter's model, and Gordon's model. The document analyzes the assumptions and conclusions of each theory regarding how different dividend policies impact firm value under varying conditions.
This document discusses dividend policy decisions and the MM approach. It begins by defining dividends and discussing sources and types of dividends. It then discusses what a dividend policy is and the key determinants of dividend policy such as legal restrictions, earnings trends, and shareholder preferences. The document also summarizes the irrelevance concept of dividends proposed by Modigliani and Miller, which states that dividend policy does not impact firm value under certain assumptions. It provides the formulas used in the MM approach to model how dividend payments do not affect share prices.
Here are the steps to solve this problem using the Walter model:
(i) Payout ratio = 40%
EPS = $4
DPS = 40% of $4 = $1.60
Retained earnings per share = EPS - DPS = $4 - $1.60 = $2.40
Using the Walter model formula:
P = D + r(E-D)/k
Plugging in the values:
P = $1.60 + 0.18(2.40)/0.15
P = $1.60 + $1.44
P = $3.04
(ii) Payout ratio = 50%
DPS
This document discusses dividend decision and theories. It defines dividends as the portion of profits distributed to shareholders. There are different types of dividends such as interim, final, stock, and scrip dividends. Dividend decision is influenced by legal provisions and is treated as a financing decision aimed at wealth maximization. The document discusses various dividend theories including the residual dividend policy, Modigliani-Miller's irrelevance theory, Walter's model, Gordon's model, and their underlying assumptions. It also covers factors influencing dividend policy and different approaches a company can take to its dividend policy.
The document discusses various models and theories related to dividend decision-making, including:
- Walter's model, which argues that the optimal dividend payout ratio depends on whether the firm's internal rate of return is higher than, equal to, or lower than its cost of capital.
- Gordon's model, which similarly concludes that the optimal payout is 0% for growth firms, 100% for declining firms, and has no optimal ratio for normal firms.
- The bird-in-hand argument, which says that rational investors prefer certain current dividends over uncertain future dividends.
- The Modigliani-Miller model, which contends that dividend policy is irrelevant for shareholder wealth under
The document discusses different dividend theories and models, including the Miller and Modigliani approach, Walter's approach, and Gordon's model. The Miller and Modigliani approach states that dividend decisions do not impact firm value. Walter's approach argues that dividend policy can affect share prices. Gordon's model relates the market value of a firm to its dividend policy using assumptions of constant growth and costs.
The document discusses dividend policy and various dividend theories. It describes different types of dividends and examines the Miller and Modigliani, Walter's, and Gordon's approaches to dividends. The Miller and Modigliani approach states that dividend decisions do not impact firm value. Walter's approach is that dividend policy can affect share prices. Gordon's model relates market share value to dividends, assuming constant growth and costs.
This document discusses dividend policy and several models for determining dividend policy, including the Walter model, Gordon model, and Modigliani-Miller model. The Walter model recommends that dividend policy influences share price and firm value. The Gordon model states that investors prefer constant dividend income. The Modigliani-Miller model suggests that dividend policy does not impact firm valuation if capital markets are perfect. Each model makes assumptions about financing, growth rates, and taxes. Formulas are provided for determining share price based on dividends, earnings, and cost of capital under each model.
Dividend policy refers to a company's decision to pay dividends to shareholders from its earnings. Several factors influence a company's dividend policy, including the stability of its earnings, its ownership structure, capital needs, business cycles, government regulations, taxation policies, and legal requirements. There are several models that attempt to determine the optimal dividend policy, including Walter's model, Gordon's model, and the Modigliani-Miller model. These models make assumptions about financing, growth rates, and capital markets in analyzing how dividend policy impacts share prices.
This document discusses dividend policy and its impact on firm value. It covers 5 sections: 1) Models relating investment and dividend decisions, including the Walter and Gordon models. 2) The traditional view that the market values dividends more than retained earnings. 3) The Miller-Modigliani position that dividend policy does not impact value under certain assumptions. 4) The radical view that dividends should be minimized due to tax advantages of capital gains. 5) An overall picture of two broad schools of thought on the relationship between dividends and share value.
The document discusses dividend decision and dividend policy. It defines dividends as profits distributed to shareholders. Dividend decision is made by company directors and impacts capital structure, stock price, and shareholder taxation. Determinants of dividend policy include payout ratio, stability, legal constraints, owners' needs, and capital market factors. Common dividend policies are regular, stable, and irregular. Dividends can be interim, proposed, final, unclaimed, etc. Various theories on the relationship between dividends and firm value are discussed, including whether dividends are relevant or irrelevant to value. Models by Walter, Gordon, and Miller-Modigliani are summarized.
The document provides an overview of finance including definitions, categories, functions, goals, principles, and key concepts such as interest rates, cost of equity, and the term structure of interest rates. Finance is defined as the management of money, and involves how firms raise capital, invest for profit, and decide whether to reinvest or distribute profits. The categories of finance discussed are personal, corporate, and public finance. Key principles covered include risk-return tradeoff, time value of money, and diversification. Methods for calculating cost of equity such as dividend yield and CAPM are also summarized.
The document discusses dividend and retention policy. It defines dividends and examines different theories on dividend policy, including Walter's model, Gordon's model, Modigliani-Miller's irrelevance theory, and the traditional approach. Key points covered include the assumptions and formulas of different models and how they assess the impact of dividends on firm value. The document also analyzes factors influencing dividend policy decisions.
This document discusses dividend policy and theories related to dividends. It begins by explaining the concept of ploughing back profits or retaining earnings for reinvestment purposes. It then discusses different forms of dividends and factors that affect dividend policy decisions. Several theories of dividends are presented, including the irrelevance approach of Miller and Modigliani, the residual theory, Walter's model, and Gordon's model. The document provides illustrations and discusses management views on maintaining consistent dividends.
This document discusses dividend theories and models for determining stock prices, including Walter's model, Gordon's model, and the MM hypothesis.
Walter's model supports the view that a firm's dividend policy impacts its value and divides firms into growth, normal, and declining categories based on return and cost of capital. Gordon's model says a firm's share price depends on its dividend payout ratio based on assumptions about earnings growth and retention.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

A Dividend may be defined as
divisible profits which are distributed
amongst the members of a company
in proportion to their shares in a
manner as is prescribed by law.
• Sufficient profits in the company
• Recommendation of the Board of
Directors.
• An acceptance of the shareholders
in the annual general meeting.
5. Dividend Policy can be
defined as the plan of action
adopted by its directors
whenever the dividend
decision is to be made.
It determines the division of
earnings between payout to
shareholders and retained
earnings.

10. Dividend Policy is relevant:
• Walter Model
• Gordon Model
Dividend Policy is irrelevant:
• Modigliani and Miller Model
• Residual Theory of Dividends
10
11. Walter’s model is based on the following assumptions:
• Internal financing
• Constant return and cost of capital
• 100 per cent payout or retention
• Constant EPS and DIV
• Infinite time
Optimum Payout Ratio
• Growth Firms ( r > Ke) –Retain all earnings
• Normal Firms ( r < Ke) –Distribute all earnings
• Declining Firms ( r = Ke) –No effect
11
14. • No external financing
• Constant return, r
• Constant opportunity cost of capital, k
14
15. Gordon’s model is based on the following assumptions:
• All-equity firm
• No external financing
• Constant return
• Constant cost of capital
• Perpetual earnings
• No taxes
• Constant retention
• Cost of capital greater than growth rate
15
16. Where:
P= Price per share
D= Expected dividend per share
E= Earnings per share
Ke = Cost of capital or capitalization rate
B= retention ratio (1- payout ratio)
Br = g = Growth rate (r * b)
16
P = D
Ke - G
18. • The constant dividend growth and earnings growth is a fallacy.
• The investors will buy and hold the shares for an indefinite period
of time is a false assumption.
• The model ignores capital gains, allowance for corporate and
personal taxation.
• The diminishing marginal efficiency of investments is ignored.
• The effect of change in the firm’s risk class and its effect on firm’s
cost of capital is ignored.
18
19. Under a perfect market situation,
The dividend policy of a firm is irrelevant
It does not affect the value of the firm.
They argue that the value of the firm depends on firm earnings which results from its
investment policy. Thus, when investment decision of the firm is given, dividend decision
is of no significance.
ASSUMPTIONS:-
• Perfect capital markets
• No taxes
• Fixed Investment policy
• No risk
• No external funds
19
20. • Po= D1 + P1 / 1 + Ke
• P1= Po(1+Ke)-D1
• nPo= (n+m) P1-(1-X)/ I+Ke
Po = Market price per share at the beginning of the period or prevailing market price of
a share.
D1= Dividend received at the end of the period
P1= Market price at the end of the period
Ke= Cost of equity capital
n= no. of shares outstanding at the beginning
m= no. of new shares to be issued
I= total net profit
20
21. • No perfect market
• Taxes with different rates
• Presence of Flotation Costs
• Uncertainty (future earnings and investment opportunities)
21
22. Residual Theory of Dividends
One of the schools of thought, the residual theory, suggests
that the dividend paid by a firm is viewed as a residual, i.e.
the amount remaining or leftover after all acceptable
investment opportunities have been considered and
undertaken.
It believes that external financing is not available when
required by the firm.
It states that dividend fluctuations do not change the
perception of the shareholders when a company has
profitable investment opportunities.
